Job description

Care at Home Support Worker. 17.5 hours per week. Evening shifts.

Are you looking for meaningful evening work that fits around your daytime commitments and makes a real difference?

This 17.5 hour post is worked as evening shifts, supporting older adults in their own homes at a key time of day. It is an ideal opportunity if you are looking for part time hours, returning to work, or want a role that works alongside other commitments.

You will deliver assessed care and support packages that help people remain safe, well and independent in their own homes and communities. This is rewarding, hands on work where your support has an immediate and positive impact.
