Weekend Community Carer

**We are the care superheroes**

**A car driver with driving license and access to a vehicle is a must.**

**Clients are usually based in Grantham but must be willing to drive in surrounding villages.**

**Are you a caring person?** Do you want to do something genuinely rewarding and work in a job where you can go home feeling like you have given something back?

We are looking for caring and sincere people to join our passionate care team, who spend every day helping people lead their lives to the full.

**Don’t worry if you don’t have experience in care, we’ll give you full training, and lots of support when you start out with our clients.**

If you like what you hear, then you should consider a career as a Community Care Assistant with Greenwood Homecare. We are an independent company, based in Grantham, with a small, close-knit team of carers.

**Responsibilities**:
As a care worker you will visit the homes of elderly, disabled and vulnerable adults to provide a range of services which enable them to live independently.
