Now Recruiting: Care Professionals – Basildon & Surrounding Areas

We’re looking for compassionate, reliable people to join our supportive Basildon branch team as Care Professionals.

What exactly is Homecare?

Unlike hospital or residential care, community homecare is all about enabling vulnerable adults to remain safely and happily in the place they love most—their own homes! You won't just be ticking off tasks; you'll be building relationships, providing vital companionship, and helping people maintain their dignity and independence.

Whether it’s sharing a cup of tea and a chat, or assisting with daily personal routines, you are the friendly face that brightens their day and brings peace of mind to their families.

If you want to go home every day knowing you made a tangible, life-changing difference, this role is for you.

As part of our community team, you will be supporting clients across the following areas:

• Highly Targeted Areas (URGENT Vacancies!): SS17 & SS18 (Stanford-le-Hope and Corringham).
• Thurrock Area: Grays, Tilbury, Chadwell St Mary, Orsett, East Tilbury & Linford, Aveley & Purfleet-on-Thames, and Chafford Hundred.
• Basildon Area: Basildon, Pitsea, South Ockendon, Langdon Hills, Laindon, Billericay, Wickford, and West Horndon.
• Castle Point & Borders: Benfleet, Canvey Island, Rayleigh, Upminster, and Rainham.

We believe great work deserves great pay. You will receive:

• £12.71 to £13.21 per hour (depending on shift times and experience).
• Mileage paid for your travel between clients!
• Guaranteed hours available for the right candidates – giving you the security of regular work!

Shifts – 7 Days a Week

• Day Shifts: 7:00/8:00 AM – 3:00/4:00 PM
• Evening Shifts: 3:00/4:00 PM – 10:00 PM
• Driver Essential: A full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle is strictly required for travel between clients.

Why Join Guardian Homecare? At Guardian Homecare, we see extraordinary achievements happen every day thanks to the dedication of our people. As part of the largest care company in the UK, we’re transforming the care industry — working smarter, embracing innovative technology, and creating lasting career opportunities. A career with us means purpose, support, and absolute security.

Job Description

What You’ll Need (Besides a Cape and Superpowers!)

Hold onto your hats — ideally, you’ll have at least 6 months of social care experience to join our merry band of care crusaders!

But here’s the truth: what matters most to us is your heart of gold and your ability to sprinkle kindness wherever you go. You’ll need to be as resilient as a rubber band and as eager to learn as a curious kitten. Don’t worry — we’ll help you level up your skills and knowledge as part of our close-knit (and delightfully quirky) team.

While experience is a bonus, we’re really looking for people who:

• Have compassion oozing from every pore.
• Possess problem-solving powers that would impress Mother Teresa.
• Are committed to respectful, high-quality care that would make your gran proud.
• Have the right to work within the UK (Please note: We are unable to offer visa sponsorship).
