What you’ll be working:

• 1 day shifts a week available (we do have more shifts in packages nearby to boost hours if interested)
• Set day each week
• 8am - 6pm
• Flexibility to work extra shifts if required

• Has hands‑on care experience, and you understand what it means to be there when it matters most.
• Your nature is gentle, your patience long, and your communication clear—someone who connects with compassion and listens with intent.
• Flexible and reliable, ready to adapt when plans shift, and you carry your sense of humour with you even on the busiest of days.
• NVQ level 3 or above

What to look forward to:

• up to £14.00 per hour dependent on NVQ qualification
• Full specialist training, shadow shifts, and ongoing support from the Care Manager provided
