We support clients in all aspects of daily living including personal care, medication support, meal preparation, domestic support, community engagement, support to appointments, social activities and supported holidays (by choice).

Our clients range from eighteen years to one‑hundred years plus and no two days are ever the same. We match clients and staff to develop a good caring professional relationship. Applicants of all ages are encouraged.

We ensure that our visits to clients give time to fully support them without rushing or pressure.

Applicants do not have to have previous experience – full training will be given with support to achieve a care certificate and diploma in Health and Social Care.

Staff need to be able to drive and have access to a vehicle. Staff are expected to work every other weekend and some evenings, but we can be flexible and look at evening or weekend staff. No zero‑hour contracts.

Support clients with personal care, medication management, meal preparation, domestic support and community engagement. Assist with appointments, social activities and supported holidays. Maintain a safe, respectful and independent environment for each client.

• Able to drive and have access to a vehicle.
• Commitment to working unsupervised with adults at risk.
• Genuine interest in providing high‑quality care and support.

It is a criminal offence for people who are barred from working in regulated activity (under the Safeguarding and Vulnerable Groups Act) to apply for roles that require them to work unsupervised with adults at risk.*

We are committed to inclusion, safeguarding and promoting the welfare of adults at risk.

This is a role not to miss out on – give Paula a call today on or email for further information.

Together we can make care matter.
