Community Care Assistant

Bridgwater, Somerset, United Kingdom Neighbourhood Care Full time

Experience as a Care Assistant? New to care?

You've skimmed through pages and pages of job adverts already right?

Not sure community care is for you?

Maybe you've heard horror stories?

No travel time? Covering a huge geographical area? No breaks?

Let us tell you why Neighbourhood Care is different.

We are a privately owned, independent home care provider based in Burnham-on-Sea.

The journey began when Neighbourhood Care was established in 2011, with the vision of providing things "differently". With the aim of providing a high quality service to its customers but also creating a enjoyable and fun working environment for its employees.

We have a dedicated management team, who all have experience working as Community Care Assistants, that means we know exactly what it's like to do the job and what we can do to make it better – and we will always get stuck in

As a Community Care Assistant you will be supporting people with daily tasks from personal care and administering medication to shopping, companionship and everything in between.

Experience is not essential, but an open mind, good sense of humour and a kind heart is a must – the rest can be learnt.

We always welcome applications from experienced carers too

You'll need to be happy driving around Burnham and Highbridge. But don't worry, as we cover such a small area travel is minimal and you'll spend the majority of your time working with our lovely customers.

Our shift patterns are 07:00-14:00 & 16:00-22:00.

Exact working pattern is chosen by you (Minimum 20hrs a week)

We pride ourselves on -

  • Being independently owned
  • Being 15 time award-winning
  • Only covering a very small area (Burnham & Highbridge)
  • Having excellent rates of pay £13.50 weekdays and £14 weekends with additional travel time payments and mileage paid at 35p per mile (average hourly rate all included £14.50-£15 )
  • Paying double on bank holidays
  • OFFERING CONTRACTED HOURS
  • Tailoring your induction training based on your individual experience
  • Ensuring you have your own regular group of customers
  • By providing 24/7 support – we really mean that too. We're all one team and you'll never be alone
  • Ensuring Quality over Quantity, so we only employ the very best
  • Having regular staff meetings
  • Offering many different ongoing training courses for continued professional development
  • Being based locally, so you can pop in whenever you want for a chat, drink and a snack. We'd actually really like that
  • Holding regular team building events for staff and days out for our customers
  • Having great staff reviews which speak for themselves – we genuinely care for and appreciate them

We also pride ourselves on being open and transparent - no rubbish, no false advertisement, no promises we can't keep. We want to ensure our staff have the option of better work-life-balance

We can offer you some pretty great things, right? but we also need you to

  • be kind, caring and compassionate
  • have a driving licence and access to a car
  • be able to work every other weekend
  • be willing to learn, even if you have experience in the care sector
  • invest in our vision and values and really want to make a difference

If this sounds like what you're looking for, we want to hear from you
