  • Supporting with personal care and medication
  • Assisting with clinical needs and moving & handling
  • Encouraging independence and daily living activities
  • Supporting social outings and community engagement
  • Providing care during both day and night shifts
Night shifts will involve monitoring, supporting comfort, and ensuring safety throughout the night.

What We're Looking For
  • Minimum 3 months' care experience
  • Confidence with medication, personal care, and moving & handling
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills
  • Full UK driving licence (required for day shifts)
  • Comfortable working in a home with pets
  • A caring, patient, and adaptable approach
    What We Offer
  • Competitive pay with enhancements where applicable
  • Regular confirmed rotas and flexible scheduling
  • Reward & recognition programme
  • 24/7 support from a dedicated team
  • Ongoing training and development within a national provider
Our funded training (including clinical skills) is provided free of charge; however, attendance is unpaid.
