- Having excellent rates of pay (£12 weekdays and £13 after 6pm and at weekends, with a rate of £15 per hour for specialist care.)
- Paying double on bank holidays.
- Offering guaranteed hours contracts.
- Ensuring you have your own regular Clients so you can form meaningful relationships.
- Having a minimum visit duration of 1 hour, so you can have plenty of time to socialise as well as assist with tasks
- Offering many different ongoing training courses for continued professional development.
- Being based on our local High Street, so you can pop in whenever you want for a chat, hot drink and a biscuit.
- Holding regular team social events for staff and activities for our Clients.

We also pride ourselves on being open and transparent. We want to ensure our staff are happy and are achieving everything they are looking for in a role with us, whether that is monetary, socially or academically.

**Qualifications**:

- Being kind, caring and compassionate.
- Having a driving licence and access to a car.
- Be able to work every other weekend, as the majority of our Clients need help 7 days a week.
- Be wanting to make a difference to people’s lives and become a genuine support for them.
