A care assistant may also be known as a care worker or support worker. A care assistant's job is to look after people who need full-time or part-time care. This includes helping elderly people, helping people with a mental health condition, and assisting people with learning or physical disabilities. The role of a care assistant can also be different depending on where you're based. You may work in a care-home; drive to multiple homes, looking after people in the local community; or be a live-in carer, providing full-time support to someone. In all these settings, you'll build great relationships with the people you're caring for. You can become a care assistant with no previous experience or qualifications, and there are great career progression opportunities. These include becoming a manager or transferring into the NHS.
