Established in 1984, CHD Living is an award-winning family-owned group of care services in Surrey and South London, where we offer person-centred care from a friendly team. We created our domiciliary care services to offer some peace of mind to the people living at home and their families. From visits once or twice a day to 24/7 at-home support, our home care team is dedicated to providing tailored services to those who need it most.

Within your role you will be responsible for the wellbeing; including the physical, emotional and social needs of the service users in a caring, kind, trustworthy and respectful manner, whilst preserving dignity, independence and self-respect at all times.

Hours can be flexible depending on your availability and we work with you, to work out what's the best fit for your given lifestyle. As you will be changing locations and, on the road, primarily working independently, you will need to be self-motivated, working on your own initiative whilst collaborating with the wider team and management.
