Are you ready to make a real difference to the people in your community?



Meet Beryl



Beryl is in her 80s and lives alone in a house filled with teacups, stories, and kindness. She thrives on routine, loves a good crossword, and enjoys her garden - especially when someone takes the time to ask about it. You might visit to help her get ready in the morning, prepare a simple meal, and spend a few minutes chatting over a proper cup of tea.

Meet Robert (and Reginald!)



Robert, a retired postman, is adjusting to life after cancer and the loss of his wife. His loyal Jack Russell, Reginald, keeps him company, but he needs a bit more support these days. You might help with medication, warm up a meal, check in on how he's feeling - and make sure Reginald gets his daily trot around the garden.

You won't be based in a care home or supporting one person - you'll visit multiple people throughout your day, providing essential care, practical help, and much-needed companionship to individuals like Maude and Robert.

What You'll Do - Every Visit Counts



You'll provide personalised, in-home support to several clients across your shift. Your day might include:

Personal care (washing, dressing, toileting) Medication assistance Meal prep and hydration Light housekeeping, errands, and laundry Mobility support and safe movement Attending appointments or short walks Companionship and emotional reassurance

You will work with multiple people each day, visiting them in their own home

Guiding and mentoring new or junior staff in the field to model best practice and share skills Feeding back to the office on changes in clients' needs and supporting updates to care plans Acting as a role model for safe, high-quality care and ensuring standards are consistently met

Senior staff may occasionally be required to adjust shifts to provide support, mentor new colleagues, or respond to urgent changes in client needs.

Why Join the Team?



Because care isn't just a task - it's a connection.

Because Maude's smile at 9am is just as important as helping her get dressed.

Because Robert's trust in you makes all the difference to his day.

Because the work you do will matter, every single shift.

And because you'll be using your experience to make care better for both clients and colleagues, shaping the next generation of care delivery while still keeping hands-on with the work you love.
