We live and work by the 6 Cs: Care, Compassion, Competence, Communication, Courage, and Commitment – and we’re looking for people who share those values.

Meet Our Client

We are seeking a dedicated and compassionate carer for a cheerful 5-year-old boy living in Wakefield. He loves exploring through sensory play, enjoys making music with his instruments, likes storybooks, and watching his favourite shows like CBeebies and Disney.

As part of his care team, you will support him overnight and in the early morning. While he usually settles well at night, he requires continuous monitoring and regular repositioning. In the morning, you will help with a bed bath and getting dressed for the day.

What We Offer

• Competitive hourly pay with enhancements for nights and weekends
• Regular confirmed rotas and flexible scheduling
• Reward & recognition programme
• Supportive management and 24/7 on-call support
• Opportunity to grow within a values-led, national care provider

Our funded training, including clinical skills, comes at no cost to you, though attendance is unpaid.
