Care Assistant Job description
Would you like more Time to Care – rather than rushing the care and quality you CAN provide? Do you need more time to travel between clients? Or are you a superhero looking for a new mission?
Our Carers all come from different walks of life. Some have previously worked in administration, in factories or in retail. Some are returning to work after a break. Many have no care experience but have found it rewarding to care for family members.
Either way, If you are genuine, caring and dedicated and you are looking for a rewarding job and great personal development opportunities, join us and make a real difference to our adult clients’ lives.
