You currently work in Home Care, you don’t have confirmed hours and you don’t always know where you are going when you are

assigned your visits for the day, the week and the month. You love supporting people in their own home and you are passionate

about enabling people to do the most they can for themselves. You get that purpose and belonging are absolutely key to every human

being and that these become even more important as people grow older. You see people’s vulnerability, at the same time as

celebrating their strengths. You’re not afraid to help people and people have told you for as long as you remember that you are a

great friend, an amazing listener and have a heart of gold.

in between! And the best part? You get to support the same people, in the same building every day – no travelling in between!
