Morning Care Assistant Role: Fixed Weekdays + Optional Weekends

Location: Norwich, NR4

Role Overview: I am seeking a dedicated, empathetic, and truly conscientious Care Assistant. This role is available on either an employed basis, or to hire the services of those who are already registered as self‑employed. You will provide high‑quality, person‑centred support that respects the individual’s autonomy, choices, and daily routines.

Flexible Working Opportunities: Offered to a reliable morning carer, to cover fixed weekdays: Monday, Thursday and Friday, 10AM-12:15PM

With the option to pick up extra week days on occasion, to cover holidays etc.

Want optional overtime?

• Zero Pressure: You are only contracted for your fixed weekdays
• Flexible Income: Opt-in to cover any weekend shifts available (10AM-12:15PM) when you want extra money, or opt-out when you need a break.

Offering a flexible approach is ideal for professional carers who value flexibility, variety, and greater control over their working week, while still providing commitment to consistency and high‑quality support.

• Genuine Empathy: You care deeply about making a positive difference in someone’s life.
• Humility and Integrity: You are self‑motivated, grounded, and client focused.

• Professional Pace: We value efficiency and focus. This role is for someone who takes pride in doing a job "right" the first time.

Requirements

• Verifiable references demonstrating reliability, respect and honesty.
• Food hygiene and H&S certifications (or willingness to train).
• An interest in cooking from scratch, with fresh ingredients.
• Clear spoken, written and auditory English skills, to easily understand and communicate with a client with varied speech and processing difficulties.

The Role: As a diligent and proactive carer, you are versed in juggling tasks and prioritising with consideration of the clients needs and time constraints. Privately employed directly by the client, working in their home Norwich, NR4, with the support of social services managing payroll. Working one to one with myself (Woman/40s), an ambulatory wheelchair user. This position focuses on personal care/bathing, cooking/food preparation, home chores/cleaning and maintaining the clients home.
