The needs of the clients will be assessed by the Help at Home Co-ordinator prior to allocating the visit to ensure you are not expected to carry out work outside of your remit. You will be provided with guidance regarding keeping yourself and your client safe, including Covid19 safety guidance, and the Co-ordinator will inform you of any potential risks that have been identified in clients’ homes.All Home Helpers will need to hold a drivers licence with own transportation. All Home Helpers will need to have a satisfactory enhanced DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check.

As part of your application process we ask that you pay for a DBS check, costing £65.10, unless you already have one that is less than a year old and covers Adult Workforce.
