Overview

Looking for a truly rewarding role where compassion meets purpose? If you're kind-hearted and ready to make a real difference, we'd love to welcome you to our caring team.

Join Active Care Group – one of the UK’s leading providers of complex care. We’re passionate about helping people live independently and confidently in their own homes. Right now, we’re looking for a compassionate Care Assistant to support our client—a gentleman living with a spinal cord injury—in Bidborough.

Meet the client:
Our client is a vibrant, family-focused individual who lives with his wife and children in a welcoming home full of warmth and laughter. Despite living with a spinal cord injury, he leads an energetic life and refuses to be defined by his disability. When he's not at his demanding day job, he enjoys time with his family.

As a Care Assistant, you’ll be offering support with personal care and moving and handling, helping to maintain independence and comfort. If you’re kind, compassionate, and ready to make a real impact in someone’s day-to-day life, this is your chance to join a caring team and support someone who’s living life to the fullest.

Your Role

Your Role: Support one of our amazing clients in his own home, assisting with:

No previous care experience? No problem. We offer full training, shadow shifts, and continuous support.

Requirements

All you need is:

• A kind and caring nature
• Reliability and flexibility
• Great communication skills

Shifts Available

• Day shifts: 8am to 8pm
• Full-time or part-time roles available

The client sometimes asks support workers to step away from his home at different times during the day and then return when needed. Because of this, we recommend applicants live within about 15–20 minutes of Bidborough. Don’t worry though — the shift is still paid as a full 12 hours.

What You’ll Enjoy

• £13 per hour
• Full specialist training & ongoing guidance
• Accrued holiday pay
• Regular work with rolling rotas
• Flexible zero-hours contract
• Access to our Active Learning Hub for personal & professional growth

This is more than just a job—it’s a chance to be part of something meaningful.

Ready to bring kindness into someone’s everyday life? Apply now and help us continue to provide care that truly makes a difference.

Please note: Due to the nature of the role, there is a genuine occupational requirement to recruit female Personal Healthcare Assistants.
