What companionship care looks like here: gentle conversation, shared activities such as walks, trips to local cafés, board games, reading, craft sessions or helping a client keep up with small tasks so they feel more confident at home. You might support someone to attend a social group or simply be a regular face who brings calm and company. You will not be expected to carry out complex clinical tasks — the emphasis is on presence, patience and conversation.
