Job description

GoodOaks Homecare Sussex South – rated GOOD by the CQC in April 2026, something we are very proud of.

We are looking for Care Professionals – you might know the role as Care Assistant or Home Care Assistant – to join our visiting care team across Shoreham-by-Sea, Southwick, Worthing and Brighton.

What you will earn

• Weekdays – £14.00 per hour

• Weekends – £16.00 per hour

• Guaranteed weekend availability – £17.00 per hour

• Time and a half on bank holidays

• Mileage paid between client visits

The hours

Between 10 and 30 hours a week, worked around your life rather than the other way round. We offer zero-hours contracts with a Flexiday option that guarantees your pay based on the availability you give us, and guaranteed-hours contracts are available subject to availability.

What you will actually be doing

You will support clients to stay in the homes they love – safe, happy and as independent as they can be. That means personal care, medication, meals, mobility support, companionship and light household tasks, alongside keeping an eye on how someone is doing and writing up your care notes.

Who we are looking for

People like being around you. You are kind, compassionate, reliable and person-centred, with a natural warmth and an honest streak. You communicate well, you are organised, and you turn up when you say you will. Previous care experience is welcome but genuinely not essential – we train you properly.

What you get from us

• Guaranteed-hours contracts available, subject to availability

• Flexible working patterns to suit your lifestyle

• Competitive rates of pay

• Mileage paid between client visits

• Full training provided, and paid

• Paid DBS check

• Paid holiday and pension contributions

• Ongoing professional development, career progression and supported qualifications

• Regular clients, so you build real relationships

• Support from a friendly, local management team

• Employee discounts including Blue Light Card

A bit about us

Our mission is to help people keep their independence and wellbeing at home. We offer live-in and visiting care, and we specialise in dementia care, physical and mental disability care, and after-stroke care. Our care professionals complete a bespoke training course, are Dignity in Care registered, and our service is regulated by the CQC.

Before you apply, please note

• We are not able to offer sponsorship of any kind, so you will need an existing right to work in the UK

• A UK driving licence and your own vehicle are required, with business class 1 insurance

• You will need a clear DBS check, which we pay for, and at least two references

• For this role we are recruiting female Care Professionals only. This is a genuine occupational requirement under Schedule 9, Part 1 of the Equality Act 2010, because the clients being supported have requested a female care professional for intimate personal care.

Come and do a job you can be proud of.
