Summary
Join a team that feels like family.
Support that meets people where they are
We’re looking for a warm, reliable care assistant to support people living in the community. This is a hands-on role where you’ll help people feel safe, supported and cared for in their own homes.
Some visits might mean helping with washing and dressing. Others may involve delivering a meal, helping with medication, or simply being a calm, kind presence. You’ll follow clear care plans and get to know the people you support over time.
If you enjoy one-to-one care, value your independence, and want to do real work that matters — this could be the right role for you.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
You’ll be part of a team that’s caring, close-knit and trusted.
One-to-one support that feels personal and meaningful
A friendly team who always have your back
Training to help you grow in confidence and skills
Support to complete your care qualifications
Take paid breaks and get a free uniform throughout your time here
A workplace that takes lone-working safety seriously
What Your Day Could Look Like
Every visit is a chance to offer care, dignity and reassurance.
Help people with washing, dressing or toileting needs
Support with meals, medication and light kitchen tasks
Care for people who may be unwell or at end of life
Keep care plans and notes up to date after each visit
Join team meetings and training to keep your skills sharp
Work independently while following clear guidance and routines
What We’d Love You to Bring
We’re looking for someone kind, thoughtful and calm under pressure.
You’re 18 or over and happy to work on your own
You can follow plans but also use your common sense
You treat people with care, dignity and respect
You’re confident writing short notes or updating a plan
You take health and safety seriously, especially when working alone
A clean driving licence
NVQ2 or 3 in care are great, but not essential
What Makes Island Healthcare Different
We’re a family-run company, and we treat our staff, clients and residents with the same care we’d want for our own families.
For over 20 years, we’ve been part of life on the Island. We’ve built trust by doing the right things, the right way. That’s why many of our team stay for years. They feel respected and proud of the work they do.
Our homes feel like just that — homes. They’re welcoming, well-run, and full of people who care.
So if you want to do real work that matters, with people who truly care — we’d love to hear from you.
