About the role:
As an hourly / domiciliary care assistant, you'll use your skills and compassion to make a real difference in the lives of our clients.
You'll provide personalised care during home visits, with calls lasting a minimum of one hour to ensure quality support and meaningful connections. Your day might involve a variety of meaningful tasks, such as:

- Running errands, including collecting prescriptions
- Supporting mobility and transfers

What you'll bring to the role:
We're looking for compassionate and experienced carers who share our values of trust, compassion, respect, and knowledge. To thrive in this role, you'll need:
- A valid driver's license and access to your own car – our clients can live in rural areas not accessible by public transport
- Whilst previous professional care experience can be an advantage (e.g. domiciliary carer, care assistant, support worker, or personal healthcare assistant) it is not a requirement – all you need is a passion for care!
- Our clients need care between 07:00 – 22:00, so you must be flexible to work at least one of the following shifts:
07:00 – 15:00
16:00 – 22:00
