Job description

Could you be the reason someone smiles today?

If you have a full UK driving licence, compassion and a desire for a new career that truly makes a difference we would love to hear from you.

There’s something extremely special about helping others live with dignity, comfort and joy especially in their own homes.

Being a Home Care Assistant isn’t just a job; it’s a calling filled with companionship, laughter and small moments that make a big difference.

All you need is a kind heart and a full UK driving licence, proof you have the right to work in the UK and we’ll provide all the training, fully funded, and support you with exceptional career development opportunities every step of the way.

Whether it’s sharing a cup of tea and a good chat, helping with daily routines, or just being that friendly face that brightens someone’s morning, you’re giving more than care… you’re giving connection.

And the best part? You get just as much back, the gratitude, the stories and the smiles that stay with you.

What We Offer

• Outstanding career development – real opportunities to progress within care and management
• Fully funded training – up to QCF Level 5
• Flexible contracts – work that fits around your life
• £500 welcome bonus*
• £12.50 per hour Monday - Friday
• £13.00 per hour Saturday & Sunday
• Refer a Friend scheme – earn up to £1,000*
• Mileage paid at 32p per mile
• Blue Light Card discount package
• Company pension scheme
• On-demand pay – access your wages when you need them

About you

No experience? No problem! We believe compassion can’t be taught, so if you have the heart for helping others, we’ll teach you everything else.

We’re looking for people who:

• Have a full UK driving licence
• Bring a kind, caring and compassionate nature
• Have good people skills and enjoy connecting with others
• Can work alternate weekends
• Have at least 12 months remaining on your right to work in the UK
