And we're rated by Workbuzz in 2025 as a 5-star employer! One of our team said recently:

"This is the best company I've ever worked for. ...so kind and understanding and hard working, and so are all the ladies in the office. Genuinely I couldn't ask for anything more. I'm so impressed by how well everything is run and how much support I have from the team. I love it. 100% recommend RAH every day of the week"

We currently require caring individuals to support our clients. We always brief our Caregivers on new clients before they meet them, and this is just one of the ways we're supportive to our team.

You will need to offer enough availability for our friendly office team to ensure you achieve the working hours you need. Our Caregivers choose to work anything between 12 and 40 hours per week. It helps if you have weekday availability, plus some availability every other weekend. However, some Caregivers choose to just work evenings for example - we make it work for each and every one of our team!

Ask for a chat with us to discuss a range of options which might fit in with your family and life commitments! We understand the importance of a good work-life balance and our Caregivers are as important to us as our clients.

Some of our amazing team had no 'formal' care experience before joining us, and some say caring isn't like an everyday job - it's rewarding, and they feel like a valued professional. This is how care can be!

Whether or not you have experience of caring, you will have excellent training, you will 'shadow' experienced Carers and be introduced to your regular clients. Visits are not rushed, and are a minimum of one hour.

We encourage candidates from all sectors to apply including retail, hospitality, NHS, hairdressing, health and beauty and driving.
