Tired of working in care but not feeling cared for by your employer?<\/h2>\n

At Visiting Angels Barnet & Enfield<\/strong>, we believe that great care starts with looking after the people who provide it.<\/p>\n

We’re growing, and as more local families choose Visiting Angels to support their loved ones, we’re looking for kind, compassionate and dedicated Weekend Care Assistants to join our amazing team.<\/p>\n

We have over 20 hours of weekend care available across Barnet and Enfield, with flexible opportunities to fit around your life, whether you’re studying, have other commitments or simply prefer working weekends.<\/p>\n

We do things differently. Our caregivers are at the heart of everything we do. We take the time to get to know you, carefully match you with clients and make sure you have the time you need to provide the care your clients deserve.<\/p>\n

We believe that happy, supported caregivers provide the very best care.<\/p>\n

And unlike many care providers, we pay you for your travel time between visits, as well as your mileage.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Where could you be working?<\/h2>\n

We have a variety of lovely clients looking for weekend support across our local community, including:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • New Southgate (N11):<\/strong> Supporting a gentleman who would prefer a male caregiver. This includes a regular Friday visit and Saturday and Sunday visits once a month, working 7-hour shifts. Some clinical tasks are involved, with full training provided.<\/li>\n
  • High Barnet (EN5):<\/strong> Supporting a client with friendly weekend visits and late-evening calls.<\/li>\n
  • East Barnet & Cockfosters (EN4):<\/strong> Various weekend calls and rounds available.<\/li>\n
  • Across Barnet & Enfield:<\/strong> Additional weekend hours, including daytime, evening and overnight care.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    We also welcome applications from experienced waking-night caregivers looking for weekend opportunities.<\/p>\n

    Whether you’re looking for a few hours or something closer to 25 hours a week, we’d love to hear from you.<\/p>\n

    Why work for Visiting Angels?<\/h2>\n

    We know that being a caregiver is more than just a job. It’s about making a genuine difference to someone’s life, and you deserve an employer who recognises that.<\/p>\n

    Here’s what you can expect when you join our team:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Competitive pay:<\/strong> \u00a312.75 \u2013 \u00a314.50 per hour.<\/li>\n
    • Paid travel time:<\/strong> We pay you for the time you spend travelling between clients.<\/li>\n
    • Mileage allowance:<\/strong> Your mileage is paid on top of your hourly rate.<\/li>\n
    • Enhanced bank holiday pay:<\/strong> Time and a half on bank holidays and double pay at Christmas.<\/li>\n
    • Annual pay increases:<\/strong> Up to 5% every year you stay with us.<\/li>\n
    • A birthday treat:<\/strong> Your birthday is a paid day off!<\/li>\n
    • Blue Light Card:<\/strong> Access to exclusive discounts and offers.<\/li>\n
    • Angel Care:<\/strong> Access to our caregiver benefits and support.<\/li>\n
    • Company pension:<\/strong> Helping you plan for the future.<\/li>\n
    • Ongoing training:<\/strong> Full induction, ongoing development and specialised training.<\/li>\n
    • Career progression:<\/strong> Opportunities to develop and grow as our business grows.<\/li>\n
    • Caregiver of the Month:<\/strong> We love celebrating our caregivers, with personalised gifts and recognition.<\/li>\n
    • A supportive management team:<\/strong> An open-door policy, approachable managers and people who genuinely care.<\/li>\n
    • A team you’ll want to be part of:<\/strong> We are proud of our excellent caregiver retention and the relationships we’ve built within our team.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      What are we looking for?<\/h2>\n

      You don’t necessarily need previous care experience. What matters most to us is your attitude, personality and willingness to make a difference.<\/p>\n

      We’d love you to be:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Kind, caring, compassionate and understanding.<\/li>\n
      • Reliable, trustworthy and committed.<\/li>\n
      • A confident communicator who enjoys building relationships.<\/li>\n
      • Someone who takes pride in providing high-quality, person-centred care.<\/li>\n
      • Available to work alternate weekends, helping us keep things fair across the team.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Ideally, you’ll have a full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle. However, if you’re a non-driver living close to one of our clients, we’d still love to hear from you.<\/p>\n

        Please note:<\/strong> These are community-based roles, providing care in people’s own homes rather than working in a care home. You’ll travel between clients’ homes throughout your working day, providing visits of varying lengths.<\/p>\n

        We are unable to offer visa sponsorship for these positions.<\/p>\n

        Some care packages have a genuine occupational requirement for a caregiver of a specific gender, in accordance with the Equality Act 2010.<\/p>\n

        Ready to become one of our Angels?<\/h2>\n

        If you’re passionate about making a difference and want to work for an employer who genuinely values and supports you, we’d love to hear from you.<\/p>\n

        You don’t need to have all the experience in the world. You just need the right heart for care.<\/p>\n

        Apply today and one of our friendly team will be in touch. We can’t wait to meet you!<\/strong><\/p>\n
