Home Care Assistant in Norwich

Join Nouveau Care as a Home Care Assistant in Norwich and get £19,000 per year for domiciliary care work. Get 45p per mile paid travel and 5.6 weeks holiday each year.

Company Introduction

We’re Nouveau Care & we’ve been providing home care jobs in Norwich since 2015. We provide domiciliary care on behalf of Norfolk County Council and the NHS as well as for private clients. As a CQC regulated home care provider, we’ve been rated ‘Good’ since 2017. Our Home Care Assistants enjoy consistent hours and salaried positions in home care. People from care home jobs who prefer home care often say it’s because they get longer with each client.

Our registered address is 125 Ber Street Norwich Norfolk NR1 3EY. People who have been in Norwich long enough remember it as the former site of the Jolly Butchers public house.

Role Description

We’re looking for Home Care Assistants to care for our clients with compassion & diligence. Our home care jobs in Norwich are about providing the services you’d expect in a care home in somebody’s own home. You’ll help people with daily tasks such as personal care, dressing, meal preparation and medication. We’ll give you full training but this is mostly instinctive – it’s about treating people the same as you would your own family members and ensuring their wellbeing and safety. You’ll be the first person to pick up on illnesses and other issues and we guarantee you’ll make a difference in somebody’s life from day one. You’ll often be one-to-one with our clients and you’ll find you get more time with each person than you would in a care home.

Key Responsibilities

As a Home Care Assistant with Nouveau Care, you’ll be the healthcare worker who sees our clients most often. This means you’ll often be the eyes and ears of the healthcare system. You’ll pick up on illnesses or infections or even just changes in mood and report them so the correct intervention can be made. As well as supporting with daily care tasks, you’ll be vigilant for abuse and neglect and anything else that might affect a vulnerable adult in the community.

Your key responsibilities as a home care assistant include:

Domiciliary care and support
Promoting independence
Personal care support
Medication support
Meal preparation
Home support tasks
Dementia & Alzheimer’s support
Stroke recovery support
Providing palliative care
Learning disability support
Mental health support

Requirements

Skills and Experience​

Previous care or healthcare experience is an advantage for our home care jobs in Norwich but not a necessity. People from hospitals, community support or care home jobs are a good fit but equally childcare or retail backgrounds often prove beneficial. What we’re looking for are people skills – even if they’re gained from helping a relative.

Having a driving license and access to a car is essential for our full time home care roles since you’ll need to travel to different addresses throughout the day. It’s possible to work part time without transport on foot, by public transport or by bicycle for example. Since our home care jobs can involve working in pairs, it’s also possible for you to be paired up with a driver for certain shifts.

Previous healthcare or care experience an advantage
Retail, childcare or customer service a great fit
No experience necessary
Driving licence and car essential for full time & an advantage for part time
Level 2 Diploma in Health and Social Care beneficial
NVQ 2 Health and Social Care beneficial
Training to Care Certificate standards beneficial

Benefits

Working Hours, Salary & Benefits

Our home care jobs involve working an average of 11 hours on your days on as a split shift between 7am and 9pm. It’s a popular option since days off are predictable and life can be planned around work.

Part time home care assistant roles are also available.

You’ll benefit from 5.6 weeks holiday per year & statutory sick pay.

Your yearly salary will be £19,000 to be paid monthly.

Since you’ll be travelling between private addresses in your own vehicle, we’ll compensate you at 45p per mile for your travel costs as a car owner.

This is very commendable from McDonalds and Pret a Manger - possibly more so due to the decision to include health & social care workers alongside NHS staff.

Carers are often underappreciated by comparison to their NHS counterparts, but are inarguably just as important - now more than ever!

Our NHS workers are heroes and as they work round the clock to treat people with coronavirus, chains McDonald’s and Pret are giving something back.

As a care provider working closely with the NHS, we're only too aware of the pressure being placed on hospital beds - this emergency cash injection is therefore only too welcome!

There will inevitably also be a huge deluge of illness requiring care support following the Coronavirus outbreak, so this long-sighted approach will certainly help.

As schools close up and down the country, it's fantastic that the government have had the foresight to enable our front-line health and social care services to continue by keeping enough open to allow key workers to continue their vital work!

How are you affected by the school closures?
