Are you looking for a rewarding role where you can genuinely make a difference in your local community every day?

We provide high-quality care to people within their own homes, helping them remain safe, independent, and connected to the people and places they love. This is a people-focused role, not just "task-based" care.

Immediate starts are available for suitable applicants.

What You Will Be Doing

As a Community Care Assistant, you will visit clients in their own homes to support their independence, wellbeing, and dignity. Typical responsibilities include:

• Companionship: Providing emotional support and building trusted relationships with clients and families.
• Personal Care: Assisting with personal care, washing, and dressing with the utmost respect.
• Nutrition: Preparing fresh meals and drinks.
• Medication: Prompting and supporting clients with vital medication.
• Daily Support: Helping with light household duties and daily routines.
• Mobility: Assisting clients to remain mobile, active, and safe at home.

No two days are ever the same, and the small things you do each day can make a huge difference to somebody’s life.

What We Offer

We believe that to care for our clients properly, we must first care for our team. We provide:

• Competitive Pay: £14.85/hr weekdays, £15.85/hr weekends, and double pay on Bank Holidays.
