Life at Prestige

People are at the very heart of Prestige, and we want to make life better for them. As a Care Assistant, you’ll join us in our continued efforts to make life better for our clients.

Prestige Nursing & Care has provided home care for over 75 years and we have 35 local offices in England and Scotland. We look after a variety of clients in their own homes and we also work with local care homes, nursing homes and the NHS.

Who will you be helping to make life better for?

The adult female requires 1:1 support in her home. She has mobility issues, but is mobile in her home, she is verbal and does all of her own personal care (she is trying to be independent for as long as possible). She has a brilliant sense of humour and is always cracking jokes, she loves her garden and butterflies. The client enjoys accessing the community (uses a wheelchair), so a driver with business insurance is a must for the day shifts, she likes music and watching TV, and enjoys having lots of conversations, help with household tasks are also required.
