To be willing and able to learn specific needs and be respectful and sensitive. Must be comfortable with constructive criticism and use it to improve the client/carer dynamic/routine.

Further Information:  An Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service Certificate (DBS) will have to be obtained for the successful candidate (at employer’s expense). Training: Where it is required, such as in Health and Safety matters, practical training and guidance will be arranged and the care worker will be expected to attend.
