Job description

Are you a caring person looking for a rewarding role with flexible hours?

Bluebird Care are proud to be one of the largest providers of home care services across the UK and at Bluebird Care Carlisle we are proud to deliver premium quality care in the Carlisle area. But what makes us different?

We’re committed to keeping people in the comfort of their own home, so we help with anything from everyday tasks around our customers’ homes through to complex care needs. We appreciate that every customer is different, and this is why every day will be different. If you are passionate about providing the very best care, then this role could be the role for you.

Are you kind, caring, supportive, professional, fun and passionate about caring?

Would you like to make a real difference in someone's life by helping them with day to day tasks such as:

• Administering medication
• Manual handling, using equipment where required
• Promoting customer health and well-being, enabling them to live their life to the full

Your Experience and Suitability for the Care Assistant Role

It isn’t about previous experience. We want to ensure our customers receive the very best care and to do that we need people who are naturally compassionate, caring and patient. We want a team who genuinely cares for each of our customers as if it was their own family.

But don’t panic, we’ll ensure you have all the right training and development because we care for our Care Assistants. After all, they care for our customers so it’s important that you feel equipped for the role.

You must have:

• Full and valid UK driving licence
• Access to a car
• Right to work in the UK
• Excellent level of English

We Care About You

We understand that every member of our team has their own family to care for and this is why our role offers the flexibility to work around your own home life. You can choose between full-time or part-time work; all you have to do is simply tell us your availability. Although we try to be flexible where we can, we do require you to be flexible with us too, that’s why we will require you to work alternative weekends.

We can’t care for our customers if we don’t take care of our team so to make this possible, we offer:

• An excellent rate of £13.00 per hour
• 30p per mile mileage allowance
• Full training induction and a 12-week mentor
• Ongoing training and support
• Smartphone technology so you can do everything at the tap of a finger
• Free uniform

But not only that, we take care of our team throughout the year, whether it's your birthday, Christmas, awards or simply because it’s a Thursday. We’re a family and we’re here to look after you today, tomorrow and every other day after that.

We have helped thousands of people feel like themselves
