What you’ll get

• £14.50–£15.70 an hour for time with clients, with travel time between visits paid on top
• Paid training from day one, plus a funded route through your Care Certificate and further qualifications
• A dedicated Care Manager and regular team check-ins, so you’re never sorting problems out alone
• Protected learning time: Wednesday afternoons are set aside for training, team building, a book club, business education sessions and team-led projects
• Wellbeing support through the AngelCare app, including counselling, talking therapy, meditation, and access to a personal trainer and nutritionist
• Your birthday off, on top of your normal holiday allowance
• Low staff turnover: around 9%, against a sector average of roughly 29%. We’ve also won a Best Employee Benefits Package award.

What you’ll do

• Visit people in their own homes and help with washing, dressing and personal care
• Help with meals, medication and the everyday jobs that keep someone safe and comfortable at home
• Spend proper time with clients: a chat, a cup of tea, some company, not just a task list
• Get to know your clients and their families, so care feels familiar
• Work as part of a team with your Care Manager behind you

Who we’re looking for

• You don’t need care experience. Plenty of our best carers came from retail, hospitality, cleaning or factory work, or took time out to bring up a family or look after a parent. If you’ve ever cared for someone you love, you already know more than you think.
• You’re kind, reliable, and treat people with respect.
• A driving licence and your own car are essential, as visits are spread across rural villages and public transport can’t reach them all.

This role is open to female applicants only. Many of our clients receive intimate personal care and have asked for a female carer. Under Schedule 9 of the Equality Act 2010, being female is a genuine occupational requirement for this position.
