Harlow & surrounding areas

£13.80 - £14.30 per hour

Paid travel time, mileage, enhanced rates for bank holidays

Full-time / part-time / guaranteed and flexible hours available

Are you naturally caring and want to make a difference in people’s lives?

If you are kind, compassionate and committed, we would love for you to join our dedicated local care team, as a domiciliary care assistant for Manorcourt Homecare.

In this role, you will provide high-quality, person-centred care to individuals in their own homes, helping them to maintain their health, wellbeing, and independence.

What would a typical day look like?

Whilst no day will be the same in this incredibly rewarding role, responsibilities will include:

• Supporting individuals with personal care (hygiene, washing, dressing, etc.)
• Supporting with the administering of medication
• Assisting with meal preparation
• Providing companionship and offering social interaction
• Carrying out light domestic tasks and occasional food shopping.

You will build meaningful relationships with the individuals you support, your fellow carers and your branch support teams; promoting our company values, which are at the heart of everything we do.

Due to the nature of this role, good communication skills and the ability to work independently are essential. Access to your own transport is an advantage but not essential.

Whether you are an experienced care assistant, support worker, or someone new to care, we provide full training and ongoing support to help you thrive. We will support you with a thorough induction and training programme to develop your skills, along with the guidance of a well-established team, who will truly value and support you.

In return, we offer a comprehensive benefits package including:

• Competitive pay - with enhanced rates on weekends and bank holidays
• Company pension
• Holiday pay - (5.6 weeks per year)
• Flexible working - patterns to suit your lifestyle
• Comprehensive training - via our in-house Healthcare Homes Academy
• Career development opportunities - qualifications and apprenticeships available
• Refer-a-Friend scheme – earn £500 per referral
• Employee Assistance Programme – access to financial support, mental health support, counselling and family wellbeing
• Blue Light Card – discounts on retail, supermarkets, shopping, fuel, days out and restaurants
• Recognition and long service awards.

Full PPE is provided to ensure the safety of our carers and clients.

If you are looking for a meaningful and fulfilling role, where you can truly make a difference to supporting the community, please get in touch, we would love to hear from you!
