An exciting opportunity has arisen for committed individuals to join The Community Resource Team (CRT) Homecare which operates throughout Cardiff. The service runs 365 days of the year, 24 hours per day. We support the citizens of Cardiff preventing unnecessary hospital admissions, facilitating discharges from hospital and aim to assist people to live independently in their own home. We work closely with our health colleagues to support the service user to achieve what matters to them. We carry out an assessment with the service user in order to build a plan to support their individual needs and assist them to achieve their wellbeing goals.

Care staff will support the client to achieve their goals, working alongside health professionals. A service delivery plan supports the carer in their daily duties. Carers work to a rota, working shifts. Each carer has a mobile device that allocates their daily tasks. We are recruiting to more than one position within the team so various rotas and hours are available which can include evening and weekend work. Contracted hours will be 30 hours per week.

The need for good observation and recording skills are essential, a flexible, focused approach is required to be able to work in a dynamic and fast changing service. Experience of working with adults or relevant care, good recording and observational skills are needed. The ability to train and achieve the relevant HSc (previously NVQ/QCF) level required for the post.
