You do not need any formal qualifications to be a care assistant, although many employers want to see a good general standard of education and may encourage you to work towards an NVQ 1, 2 or 3 in Care. You do, however, need the following personal skills: # Good listening skills # Assertiveness # Resoucefullness # Imagination # Reliability # Empathy # Being able to manage stress # Being able to handle long working hours # Fit and healthy # Willingness to learn from others # Willingness to learn from your mistakes # A hardworking attitude # Sympathy # Tact # Discretion # Flexibility
