This isn’t care on a conveyor belt. We give you the tools, time, and support to do the job properly, and make a real difference to the people you visit.

**Are you ready to make a real difference to the people in your community?**

**Meet Beryl**

Beryl is in her 80s and lives alone in a house filled with teacups, stories, and kindness. She thrives on routine, loves a good crossword, and enjoys her garden - especially when someone takes the time to ask about it. You might visit to help her get ready in the morning, prepare a simple meal, and spend a few minutes chatting over a proper cup of tea.

**Meet Robert (and Reginald)**

Robert, a retired postman, is adjusting to life after cancer and the loss of his wife. His loyal Jack Russell, Reginald, keeps him company, but he needs a bit more support these days. You might help with medication, warm up a meal, check in on how he’s feeling - and make sure Reginald gets his daily trot around the garden.

You won’t be based in a care home or supporting one person - you’ll visit multiple people throughout your day, providing essential care, practical help, and much-needed companionship to individuals like Maude and Robert.

**What You’ll Do - Every Visit Counts**

You’ll provide personalised, in-home support to several clients across your shift. Your day might include:

- Personal care (washing, dressing, toileting)
- Medication assistance
- Meal prep and hydration
- Light housekeeping, errands, and laundry
- Mobility support and safe movement
- Attending appointments or short walks
- Companionship and emotional reassurance
- **You will work with multiple people each day, visiting them in their own home**

**What We’re Looking For**
- A kind, empathetic, and dependable person
- No previous experience required - just the right attitude and willingness to learn
- Eligible to work in the UK (without need for sponsorship)
- A full UK driving licence and use of your own vehicle (essential)
- Availability to work alternate weekends
- A genuine interest in supporting people to live independently
- Strong communication skills and the confidence to work alone in the community
- A team player who values openness, reliability, and compassionate care

**Working Hours & Shift Pattern**

We use a fixed two-week rolling rota to ensure consistency for our clients and work-life balance for our team:

- Week 1: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
- Week 2: Monday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
- Full-Time (Long Days): 07:00 - 22:00 (with breaks), 40 hrs/week

**Why Join the Team?**

Because care isn’t just a task - it’s a connection.

Because Maude’s smile at 9am is just as important as helping her get dressed.

Because Robert’s trust in you makes all the difference to his day.

Because the work you do will matter, every single shift.
