Headington, United Kingdom Oxford Aunts Care Full time

We are looking for hourly care assistants to join our award-winning care team in Oxford and surrounding villages. If you’re passionate about supporting people to live in the homes and communities they love, and you have at least 6 months’ professional experience in care, we’d love to hear from you.

At Oxford Aunts we have been providing a service to our community since 1967, going above and beyond in order that our clients are supported to live their best lives. In this meaningful and rewarding hourly care role you will play a key part in making a difference to another person’s life. In return you’ll get flexibility that will enable you to achieve a work life balance, perhaps around your family commitments or other things you need to do.

**We offer**:
When you join Oxford Aunts as a carer, you will be joining a community of like-minded experts. And whilst you are taking care of your client, we’ll take care of everything for you:

- Guaranteed pay contract - consistent pay for an agreed amount of hours every month, whether we give you work or not.
- Minimum call time will be 3 hours and could be up to 8 hours. Minimising the time you’ll spend travelling and you’ll rarely be working during unsociable hours
- Excellent pay rate of £13 per hour weekdays and £15 at weekends.
- Paid mileage between calls
- Paid time between calls
- Enhanced bank holiday pay rates
- Generous Refer a Friend Scheme using Care Friends app
- Funded Blue Light Card, offering online and highstreet discounts at select retailers
- Onboarding training with qualified Trainers plus annual refresher training
- Access to our free Employee Assistance Program supporting in times of need
- Our carers are directly employed by Oxford Aunts giving you access to holiday entitlement and our pension scheme
- Support with COVID 19 protocols and testing
- Free enhanced DBS at induction

**About the role**:
As a professional care assistant, you will provide break cover during the day for our live-in carers, supporting our clients with companionship, activities in and outside of the home, personal care and housekeeping.

**About you**:
It’s important that you have previous paid experience as a care assistant, domiciliary carer, support worker, personal healthcare assistant or care worker or similar. You will also need to have the right to work in the UK - please note we do not offer sponsorship or relocation packages.

You’ll be an excellent communicator, with a genuine interest in building relationships and caring for others. All of our paperwork and care plans are recorded through our innovative online portal, so confidence in using technology is also a must, but don’t worry, our teams are here to support and train you on all of our online systems.

As this is a domiciliary care role, covering Oxford and surrounding villages, it is essential that you are a driver with your own transport. You will need business insurance in order to drive your client to appointments and outings.

Apply.
