Job description

Join Our Compassionate Team as a Care Assistant – Where Your Time, Skills, and Heart Truly Matter

Are you ready to be part of a care company that truly cares for its team?

At Bluebird Care Sussex Weald, we do things differently. We pay for every minute you work—not just when you're with a client. That includes travel time and mileage, because we know your time is valuable, and your work deserves full recognition.

While many care providers leave their staff unpaid for up to 10% of their time each day, we make sure every minute counts—with competitive pay, rewarding benefits, and genuine opportunities for career growth.

What We Offer:

• £13.43/hr Weekdays | £14.63/hr Weekends | £26.86/hr Bank Holidays

• £12.21/hr for Travel Time + 39p/mile for Mileage

• Real career progression – many of our current office team were promoted from within!

• Flexible contracts: Part-time or full-time – minimum of 16 hours per week.

• Paid Training + 12-week Mentor Program to help you thrive from day one.

• Work phone, PPE, and full support provided.

• Funded Level 2/3 Health & Social Care Qualifications.

• Loyalty bonuses, Refer-a-Friend rewards up to £250, and Carer of the Month prizes.

• Holiday entitlement that grows with your service.

• Early access to pay via smart app, Blue Light Card discounts, and more.

Requirements:

• A full UK Driving Licence and access to your own vehicle (insured for business use).

• The right to work in the UK.

• Availability for at least 16 hours per week and alternate weekends.

• You must live locally to the Sussex Weald area.

Your Role as a Care Assistant:

• Provide personal care and daily living support that helps clients feel safe, comfortable, and valued.

• Help clients maintain their independence with dignity and respect.

• Keep accurate, up-to-date records and communicate effectively with family members and healthcare professionals.

• Drive clients to appointments and outings, ensuring their well-being along the way.

• Use your excellent communication and IT skills to support care planning and documentation.

No experience? No problem.

Whether you're restarting fresh or bringing experience from healthcare, childcare, cleaning, or customer service—we’ll support you with everything you need to become an exceptional Care Assistant.

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds, including those with NHS, Support Worker, or Early Years experience. If you have the heart to care and a commitment to making a difference, we want to hear from you.
