About the Role

This is a dual role consisting of Personal Care and Domestic Services. You’ll work closely with the Field Care Supervisor, House Managers and Care Performance Manager to deliver personal bespoke care and lifestyle services. This could be from assisting with personal care, household tasks to offering companionship and supporting wellbeing activities. There is the expectation to ensure communal areas are cleaned regularly too.

This is a mobile field-based role to grow our care service so there is a requirement to travel between our developments and parking will be available at each site.

Key Responsibilities

• Support Individual Homeowners: To provide personalised care, including help with daily activities, personal hygiene, and medication assistance. You will also offer domestic support, such as cleaning, shopping, and managing household tasks.
• Domestic: Maintain communal areas within our developments to a high standard, ensuring a clean, tidy, and welcoming environment for all homeowners.
• Social Support: To assist homeowners with social activities, transport arrangements, and attending appointments, enhancing their overall well‑being and social connections.

What We’re Looking For

• Skills & Experience: Ideally you will have previous experience in a care environment. However, this is not essential as we can provide full training for anyone looking for a career change. You must have strong interpersonal skills, empathy, and the ability to manage your time effectively.
• Driving Licence: This is a field-based role, so a valid full UK driving licence is required, along with a willingness to travel between developments.
• Flexibility: The ability to work on a rota basis that will include early mornings, lates and alternate weekends.

Why Join Us

• Travel Expenses Covered: Use your personal car for work with all travel expenses fully reimbursed and parking available on site. Mileage is paid at 43p per mile.
• Uniform and mobile phone provided.
• Professional Development: We support your growth with training opportunities, including the chance to work towards a Diploma in Health and Social Care and to progress to a senior care assistant role if that is of interest.
