Job description

Starling Homecare is a family owned, independently run homecare provider based in St Albans and registered with the CQC. We are looking for kind, reliable care assistants to support people in their own homes across St Albans and the surrounding villages.

You will see the same clients regularly and help them with the things that let them stay at home: getting up and ready for the day, meals, medication prompts, keeping the house the way they like it, getting out and about, and company. You will notice when something is not right and say so.

Pay: £14.50 an hour on weekdays and £15.00 an hour at weekends, paid for every visit you work. After your first three months you can move to our Committed Availability Rate of £16.00 an hour, every hour, if you keep around 40 hours of availability a week at the times our clients need us most.

On top of your hourly rate:

• - Rate uplift to £21.00 an hour on bank holidays
• - Rate uplift to £28.00 an hour on Christmas Day and New Year's Day
• - £200 welcome bonus after your first three months, on the terms set out in your offer letter
• - Uniform and PPE provided
• - Company pension
• - After six months, an invitation to join our wellbeing package, including a 24/7 GP service, counselling, digital physiotherapy and savings on everyday shopping

No experience is needed. We train you properly, at no cost to you, and you shadow experienced carers before your first visit on your own.

Zero hours contract. This post is subject to an enhanced DBS check and satisfactory references. Starling Homecare is an equal opportunities employer.
