There’s a lot more to working in home care with Caremark Nuneaton & Bedworth than you may think.

Yes, your main role will be to visit people’s homes to provide the care which helps them to remain at home, but in many cases this is something as simple as preparing their meals and having a little chat.

We have customers with more complex care needs as well, but don’t worry, we will give you all the training you need to do this, and this personal development won’t cost you anything, so it’s win, win!

Then, there is the other side of what we do. So, we may ask you to take our customers to the beach, cafe or the shops; or you can help with one of our social events in the community which encourage social interaction and companionship. And if you would like to do all of this, then we certainly won’t stop you.

In return, we can offer you a contract with fixed hours, an hourly rate of up to £11.00, and mileage paid extra; continuous professional development at no cost to you; invites to family fun days and other staff events, the chance to win and attend our carer of the year awards, and much more.

This role is perfect for someone who wants to help vulnerable people remain in their own homes and who wants to make a difference to people's lives.

This role has set shift patterns which allow a great work and home life balance and is paid as 12-hour shifts.

We will need you to be:

• A driver
• Confident – be ready for an ever-changing rota with new customers added regularly
• Experienced – 1 year's home care experience or Level 2 qualified
• Reliable – we will monitor sickness levels closely as this is a small team
• Flexible – be willing to travel across Nuneaton & Bedworth
• Willing – to be part of a quality team

So please do if you would like to find out more about a career in home care with us; we promise you will be surprised at how varied and rewarding it is.
