Frequently asked questions

Do you need experience to become a care assistant?

Experience is not essential as we offer free training to successful candidates. The most important quality is your desire to care for people and improve their quality of life. A good standard of English is required, both written and spoken and strong communication skills.

What qualities does a care assistant need?

What do care assistants do?

Care assistants support people to manage their day and retain their independence. This can either be at their home or within a residential care or nursing home.

Residents in our care and nursing homes may need support with washing and dressing and with emotional support and companionship.
