General Duty Assistant at home
Practical day-to-day care and a pair of hands you can rely on.
A General Duty Assistant supports the ordinary work of caring for someone at home — helping them move, wash, eat and stay comfortable, and raising the alarm when something changes. Available in 12-hour and 24-hour shifts.
What this treats

What a visit looks like
- AssessmentThe first visit is spent understanding the problem — what hurts, what you cannot do yet, and what you need to get back to.
- TreatmentHands-on work and guided exercise, in your own rooms, using what you already have rather than clinic equipment you do not.
- Between visitsYou are left with something to practise. Most of the progress happens here, not during the hour someone is with you.
General Duty Assistant — questions we get
Does a GDA give medicines or injections?
No. That is nursing work. A GDA can remind and assist, but anything clinical needs a qualified nurse, and we will say so rather than stretch the role.
Can the same assistant come each day?
We aim for continuity, because it matters to the person being cared for. Tell us if you would like the same assistant and we will arrange it wherever the roster allows.
