Summary

Care Assistant / Caregiver – Home Care (East Surrey)
from £14.00 per hour + paid travel time + mileage

This role is for carers who want the time and support to care properly.

At Visiting Angels East Surrey, we provide relationship-led home care that allows people to stay independent in their own homes. We are looking for compassionate, reliable carers who value quality over rushing and want to feel proud of the work they do.

What makes this role different
Minimum 1-hour visits. No rushed 15 or 30-minute calls
Paid travel time between visits and mileage paid
Local rounds across East Surrey
Paid, in-person induction training before you start
A supportive, relationship-based approach to care

The role
You will be supporting clients in their own homes with tasks such as:
Personal care and daily living support
Medication prompting or administration
Meal preparation
Companionship and emotional support
Mobility assistance
Visits typically run between approximately 7.30am and 8.00pm.
Alternate weekend working is required.

About you

This role will suit you if you:
Take pride in delivering kind, respectful care
Are reliable, calm, and patient
Enjoy working independently while feeling supported by a team
Want to be part of a growing local service where standards matter
Shape

Essential requirements (please read carefully)

To be considered for this role, you must:
Already live locally and have the right to work in the UK without employer sponsorship
Hold a full UK driving licence
Have access to your own vehicle for work
Be willing to work alternate weekends
Be comfortable travelling between local client visits
If these requirements do not fit your situation, this role is unlikely to be the right match.

What you’ll receive
from £14.00 per hour
Paid travel time between visits
Mileage allowance
Paid induction training
Ongoing support from a local office team
The opportunity to grow with a developing local service
Shape

A final note:

This role is not about squeezing in as many visits as possible. It’s about supporting people with dignity, building trust, and having the time to do things properly.

If that sounds like the kind of care work you want to be proud of, we would love to hear from you.
