Job Description
Escape the stress of rushed visits and enjoy the job you love. Imagine walking into someone’s home and having the space to make a real difference — be it listening to their childhood memories over a cuppa, accompanying them to their favourite coffee shop, or supporting them to stay independent while enjoying the routines that matter most.

Helping clients with personal care like washing, dressing, grooming, and mobility support
Supporting with medication and daily routines
Assisting with light housekeeping and errands
Providing companionship and emotional support
Accompanying clients to appointments or activities
We offer lifestyle-friendly shift patterns designed to give you balance and consistency. Choose what fits you best:
Weekdays + alternate weekends - steady routine with reliable weekly hours
Weekday evenings + weekends - ideal for fitting care around other commitments
Weekends only - perfect for shorter, structured hours
Qualifications
Experience in care homes, supported living, domiciliary care, or any care-related setting is a plus, but we welcome applicants from all backgrounds!
You’ll need:
A kind, compassionate approach and a genuine desire to make a difference
A valid driving licence, access to a car, and business insurance
Availability on weekdays and/or weekends
A willingness to learn and collaborative mindset
Additional Information
From the moment you join us, our promise is for you to feel supported not only in your role, but in your growth and wellbeing. We offer the following:
Paid, comprehensive induction training to set you up for success
Ongoing refresher sessions to keep your skills current
Specialist modules including dementia care, end-of-life care, mobility, and safeguarding
Opportunities for career development and recognised qualifications
