Are you the kind of person who remembers how someone takes their tea?
Do you believe a 5-minute chat can brighten someone’s whole day?
Can you bring compassion, reliability, and maybe a great playlist?
If you said YES… we want to meet you.
⚕️ What You’ll Be Doing
No two days are the same — and that’s the beauty of it.
You’ll be:
✨ Supporting people with daily routines
✨ Helping with personal care (with dignity and respect)
✨ Preparing meals and sharing meaningful moments
✨ Providing companionship and emotional support
✨ Being the reason someone smiles today
This isn’t just care work. It’s life-changing work.
What We’re Looking For
You don’t need years of experience — you need the right heart.
We’d love you to have:
✔️ Kindness that can’t be taught
✔️ Reliability and a strong sense of responsibility
✔️ Good communication skills
✔️ A willingness to learn (full training provided!)
✔️ A driving licence (if required for community role)
Care experience is great — but not essential. We hire for attitude and train for skill.
What You’ll Get
Because caring for others means we care for you too.
Competitive pay + enhanced weekend rates
Full paid training & development opportunities
Career progression pathways
Supportive, friendly team culture
Staff recognition, rewards & appreciation events
Flexible shifts that fit around your life
Why Work in Care in 2026?
