Job description
Other job ads list endless "must haves".
We'd rather tell you what you don't need for this lovely job:
You don't need to be a master chef, but if you can brew a cuppa that warms the soul, you're already a hero in our book.
You don't need to be Sherlock Holmes, but your knack for finding a client's misplaced glasses will make you feel like a day-saving detective.
You don't need to waltz like you're on 'Strictly,' but you'll find joy in the simple pleasure of a spontaneous dance with a client during afternoon tea.
You don't need to be a runway model, but when you help a client pick out their 'feel-good' outfit for the day, you'll feel like a personal stylist.
You don't need a GCSE in history; instead, you'll have the honour of listening first-hand to a lifetime of treasured memories.
You don't need a uniform. Our visits bring comfort, as if a good friend just walked through the door.
And rushing? Definitely not on our watch. Each visit you make is far more than just ticking off a list of tasks. By the end of the day, you'll carry that warm, 'I've-really-made-a-difference' feeling, knowing you've been the highlight of someone's week.
So, what's truly essential?
Genuine empathy, oodles of patience, and a hearty sense of humour. Your genuine kindness will transform a lonely afternoon into a brighter day for someone who needs it.
Don't worry if you've never done this before—we'll support you with plenty of training to give you confidence. Plus, with a variety of hours available covering weekdays, evenings, and weekends, we'll work with you to find a schedule that suits both you and our clients.
Sound like a role where you'd shine?
Start a job that fills your heart - because you already have what it takes.
Our Company:
As an Autumn Friend Support Worker you will be required to work with our clients to offer support to them and their caregivers.
Our Autumn Friends offer a safe and compassionate service in which they help our client with daily tasks, be sympathetic and always ready to listen and help them safely follow everyday activities that we all take for granted; whether this be a trip out to a favourite place, a walk to the local coffee shop or help to attend or make medical appointments.
You will be responsible for providing a consistent level of care and support within our clients’ own homes.
As an Autumn Friend you will be providing friendship and companionship allowing our clients to live independently for longer, and giving their caregiver peace of mind that their loved one is safe and being well cared for.
