Job description

At Comfort Call (part of the CCH Group), every day is different. We are currently experiencing rapid growth and have multiple exciting opportunities available to fit your life.

We are actively recruiting for compassionate Care Assistants to join our dedicated teams supporting service users across the heart of Coleford.

What is Homecare?

Homecare is all about helping vulnerable adults remain safe, happy, and independent in the place they love most – their own home.

Unlike working in a residential or hospital setting, community care is focused on building genuine relationships, providing companionship, and supporting people to live life on their own terms.

You’ll do far more than complete tasks – you’ll become a trusted part of someone's day and make a real difference to their quality of life. If you want to go home each day knowing you've changed someone's life for the better, this role could be perfect for you.

We're currently recruiting Care Assistants across some of Coleford's most vibrant and diverse communities. Thanks to rapid expansion, we are actively hiring for:

• Coleford is one of our rising stars! With new referrals arriving every week, this area is growing at an exciting pace. Supported by a small, dedicated team, we have ambitious plans to expand into several thriving local teams across the area. With a mix of council-contracted and private clients, there's plenty of variety and opportunity to make a real impact.


• Forest of Dean is an exciting new area for us, and the demand is already clear to see! As we continue to expand into new locations, we're keen to build a strong presence in DN4 and establish dedicated care rounds within the community. Initially supporting council-contracted clients, we hope to grow our reach even further and welcome private packages alongside them as the area develops. It's a fantastic opportunity to be part of something from the very beginning.

(We also have opportunities across through out Cheltenham and Gloucestershire)
