No two days will ever be the same, but your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

supporting people with their personal care
assisting people at meal times
understanding individual health and wellbeing needs
encouraging and supporting people to take part in social activities, both in and out of the home
promoting choice, dignity, independence and respect
completing and maintaining care records
liaising with friends, relatives and other stake holders and promoting the profile of the home.
