About the Role
Our client believes care is about people, not just tasks.
They are looking for compassionate, experienced Carers to join their growing team, providing high-quality, person-centred care to clients in their own homes across Dundee and the surrounding areas.
Unlike many care roles, their longer visits mean you have the time to truly care – time for conversation, companionship, reassurance, and helping people live safely and happily in the place they love most – their home.
This is a role where relationships matter, kindness matters, and the care you give really makes a difference.
Your Purpose
To deliver outstanding, person-centred care that promotes independence, dignity, choice, and wellbeing, while building meaningful and trusting relationships with the people you support.

- Promote dignity, privacy and individual choice at all times.
Practical Support:

- Meal preparation and nutritional support.
- Helping maintain a safe, clean and comfortable home.
Social and Emotional Support:
- Providing companionship and meaningful conversation.
- Supporting social activities, outings and appointments.
- Encouraging independence and community involvement.
Record Keeping and Communication:
- Maintain accurate and up-to-date care records.
- Report any changes or concerns promptly.
- Work closely with the wider care team.
Compliance:
- Follow company policies and procedures.
- Work in line with safeguarding and adult protection guidance.
- Adhere to Scottish Social Services Council Codes of Practice.
