Job Description

A unique care role: join our visiting care team in Richmond, London
Are you a compassionate and creative carer looking for a unique opportunity? We are seeking an exceptional individual to provide daily live-out support for a wonderful client in Richmond, London. This isn't your typical domiciliary care role. You'll be joining a dedicated, established team that enables our client to live a vibrant, active, and fulfilling life.
About the role
This position is ideal for someone looking for a rewarding, part-time commitment. You will be providing daily break cover for our client's live-in care team. They need cover for two hours a day, seven days a week - this could be covered by one person, or a team of two. The usual shift is from 3:30 PM to 5:30 PM, a perfect schedule to fit around other work or personal commitments.
Your role will be focused on providing engaging companionship and support with a variety of fun, in-home activities. Our client has a great sense of humour and loves to be creative. You'll be helping with things like:

• Baking delicious treats
• Arts and crafts projects
• Music time and other creative pursuits

This is a fantastic chance to build a meaningful, long-term relationship with a kind and engaging individual.
Why you'll love being part of our team
We know that a great carer deserves great benefits, even for a part-time role. We're committed to supporting you every step of the way.

• Excellent pay: Earn 14.50 per hour on weekdays and 16.50 on weekends, with double pay on bank holidays
• Dedicated support: You'll have your own dedicated care manager and a friendly office team always ready to help
• Prioritising your wellbeing: We provide an Employee Assistance Programme with access to valuable wellbeing support
• Award-Winning culture: Join a team rated 5 stars for culture and management on Indeed and recognised for our care expertise at the Home Care Awards
• Comprehensive Benefits: This includes paid holidays, a NEST pension scheme, a client referral scheme, and a Blue Light Card.

About you
We are looking for someone who is outgoing, creative, and has a great sense of humour. You must have prior experience supporting someone with learning disabilities and epilepsy.
You will need to be:

• Reliable and punctual
• A strong communicator
• Patient and empathetic

This is a live-out role based in the client's home, so you do not need to be a driver.
If you're ready to make a real difference and be part of a truly unique care team, we would love to hear from you.
