• A driving license & access to your own vehicle is ESSENTIAL

What We Offer:

• Enhanced Bank Holiday Rates: Earn extra on those special days when you're giving your best care.
• Generous Paid Mileage: GBP0.45 per mile to ensure you're rewarded for the travel you do.
• Paid Travel Time: We value your time, and that means paying you for every minute of travel between visits.
