• You will have a kind and caring nature, a serious commitment to work and a desire to work in an organisation where you can make a real difference to the everyday lives of people who need assistance.

Benefits:

• 20 hrs Covering Afternoons between 4-10pm working alternate weekends.
• Competitive hourly rates offered between £14.24 Monday – Friday and £14.77 bank holidays and weekends
• Full training is given leading to a Certificate in Care
• Free uniform and DBS check
• A great pension scheme; CKH will double employee’s contribution up to a maximum of 10%. SHPS members will also benefit from Life Cover in the event of death in service. (T&C apply)
• CKH rewards benefit platform. Access to instant vouchers, cashback and reloadable gift card
• Employee Assistance Programme. 24-hour free counselling and legal advice
• CKH employees who have successfully passed their probationary period will be eligible to sign up for Westfield Health, which is a completely free service that gives you access to a range of health cash benefits and services.
