Full Job Description

Did you know? Spending time with the Elderly can help them feel valued, whether it's by sharing their wisdom, or simply by being loved and on their mind.

As a Walfinch Care Assistant for the Elderly, you will actively help people continue to live independently in their own homes and carry on with their interests and activities.

They will look forward to your visits, eager to see your friendly smiling face, hear your reassuring voice and feel your genuine compassion to help.

  • Don't be put off because you haven't got experience - full training given.


  • Full Driving Licence and access to own car is essential


  • The majority of our carers stay with us year on year. Here's what they stay for:
  • Flexibility- work around your family, studies, or hobbies.

  • Alternative weekends required

  • Paid Mileage - 0.35p per mile

  • Longer visits - no 15-minute calls - so you get time to get to know your clients.

  • Refer a friend scheme

  • Attendance bonus - subject to successful completion of your probation (conditions apply)

  • Career progression opportunities, as we are a growing company.

  • Further Training - QCF & training in specialist conditions e.g. stroke

  • Dedicated Office Support & Mentoring - we're not just saying this!


  • In your role as a Walfinch Care Assistant you would be required to:
  • Bring companionship and comfort - our service users want to stay in their own homes as they are places of familiarity.

  • Assist with Personal Care - bathing/changing clothing

  • Medication Assistance

  • Assist with Continence Support

  • Help people get more active and get out more (attending social events)

  • Assist with meal preparation

  • Shopping & taking to appointments

  • Light housework


  • Our Values:

    Integrity: We only make agreements that we intend to keep. We practice our values, hold ourselves accountable and have high ethical standards. We stand for what is right and just.

    Excellence: We are attentive to the requirements of our carers and provide an excellent quality of service to our clients.

    Teamwork: We collaborate by sharing our skills, knowledge, and experience, working as a group effectively towards the same goal - excellence in care.

  • Walfinch is a home care service that delivers many types of care to anyone over the age of 18, including elderly care, home health care, personal care, and care for people with particular conditions. This will give you the chance to make a difference.

  • We are a national brand providing care countrywide.

  • We have a strong back-office support team.


  • This is the right time to get into the growing care industry - join us at Walfinch
