What is a Care Service Employee?

Care Service Employees assist in the provision of care services that enhance the residents’ well-being and is inclusive of their physical, psychological, social and spiritual qualities, to facilitate self-determination, capacity and resilience, as well as improve social engagement and quality of life for the resident.

Duties include:

• Assisting clients with daily tasks such as showering, shaving, dressing and eating
• Supporting their mobility through the use of hoists, wheelchairs and other equipment
