**The Role**

Our Caregivers spend a minimum of 1 hour with each of our elderly private clients who live in their own homes. Duties differ from visit to visit. Some of our clients require varying levels of Personal Care i.e. washing, dressing and hygiene assistance and others just need a little help getting their meals prepared or keeping on top of basic housework.

Your initial home visits will always be carried out with a senior colleague until you ‘find your feet’. You will also have management support on every home visit you then make and will not attend clients alone until you are comfortable.

**What’s In It For You?**

A competitive salary up to £12.50 depending on experience rising to £25 on bank holidays **PLUS**:holiday pay**, **paid mileage, realistic travel time between clients and company pension contributions. We also offer generous retention bonuses and referral bonuses.

Be part of a team that look out for each other, have their suggestions listened to and finally find job satisfaction that cannot be matched elsewhere.

**Career Development**

Some Caregivers are simply happy being out in the community visiting clients. However others will eventually be looking to move into one of our office based roles or a supervisory / management position. As we are new branch there is plenty of scope for progression and we will always look to promote from within, which is supported by the relevant training and coaching to help you move up the career ladder, should you wish.
