Job Description

We are looking for compassionate people who are able to support our wonderful clients in Maghull, and surrounding areas, to live well in their own home.

• Paid Mileage – A higher rate of 45p per mile.
• Paid DBS check - We cover the cost of your enhanced DBS subject to T&C's.
• First-class Training – Our award-winning training ensures you have the skills and knowledge to excel in your role.
• Care Certification – Once you have completed your extended training, you will receive an industry-recognised Care Certificate.
• Ongoing Support – Our team provide guidance and support whenever you need it.
• Employee Assistance Programme – Access to counselling, a confidential advice line and more.
• Amazing Benefits – Discounts at supermarkets, high street stores, holidays and much more. You will also be able to buy a Blue Light Card for more discounts and benefits.
• Employee Referral Programme – £100 subject to T&C's.

Qualifications

We require you to have your own car to allow us to support our clients who need to be transported to and from their homes.

This role is UK based and the right to work in the UK will need to be established as part of the recruitment process.
