Job description

Care Assistant (Female) – Driver Required (sponsorship available)

Maybe you already work in care and want more stability, better support and dependable hours.

Maybe you’ve never worked in care but have wondered whether you’d be good at it.

Or maybe you’re simply looking for a career that means something.

For over 14 years, Bluebird Care Newmarket & Fenland has been helping people across our local communities stay independent and continue living in the place they love – their own home.

We’re established. We’re growing. And we’re looking for great people to grow with us.

Stable Work. Guaranteed Hours. A Career with a Future.

We don’t believe you should have to wonder how many hours you’ll get next week.

That’s why we offer:

• £15.80 per hour
• 35p per mile paid mileage
• Permanent full-time and part-time roles
• Small, local care teams
• Localised rounds with less unnecessary travel
• Alternate weekends – giving you every other weekend off
• Ongoing training and development
• Genuine opportunities to progress

More stability. Less time travelling. More time with your customers.

We’ve Been Caring for Over 14 Years

We’re not new to this.

Bluebird Care is one of the UK’s most recognised home care brands, and our local family-run business has spent more than 14 years building a strong team and delivering personalised, bespoke care across our communities.

Our customers rely on us every day.

And our Care Professionals can rely on us too.

You’ll have an experienced local management team behind you, ongoing training, regular support and people who are there when you need them.

Care is about looking after people – and that includes our team.

You’ll have access to:

• Supportive, approachable local managers
• Regular check-ins and wellbeing support
• A Registered CBT-trained Counsellor
• Ongoing learning and development
• Clear career progression opportunities

We want you to enjoy what you do, have a life outside work and see where a career in care could take you.

Never Worked in Care Before?

That’s absolutely fine.

We’ll provide your training and support you as you learn.

What matters to us is who you are – being reliable, compassionate, interested in people and wanting to make a difference.

Already Work in Care?

Then come and see how we do things differently.

Your experience matters, and we’ll help you build on it.

There’s no pressure and no obligation to apply.

Sometimes a conversation is all you need to decide whether it’s worth taking the next step.

What Does a Care Assistant Actually Do?

You’ll support people in their own homes with things such as:

• Personal care
• Medication
• Meals and nutrition
• Companionship
• Everyday activities
• Getting out and about
• Simply being there when someone needs support

You’ll get to know your regular customers and build genuine relationships with them.

It’s care that’s personal – not just another call on a rota.

What We Need From You

• Female applicants only (Schedule 9, Equality Act 2010)
• Full UK driving licence
• Your own car for work
• Availability to work alternate weekends – Saturday and Sunday
• Right to work in the UK or eligibility under the specific sponsorship criteria for this vacancy

Limited visa sponsorship opportunities are available for candidates who meet our specific eligibility and recruitment criteria. Sponsorship is not guaranteed.

Enhanced DBS and satisfactory references are required.

Ready for Something Different?

You don’t need to have your whole career mapped out.

You don’t even need to be certain care is for you.

Join an established local business with over 14 years’ experience, guaranteed hours, a supportive team and opportunities to build a career that can genuinely make a difference.
