Job description

Perfect opportunity for local work for those based in the Chesterfield area!

You will be working within a unique residential service where each resident has their own flat. This service offers a "community care within the building" model, allowing you to provide essential support without the need for travel between locations.

Residents are semi-independent, but the role involves delivering personal care similar to that of community care. You will also be responsible for administering medication, assisting with meal preparation, carrying out domestic tasks, and supporting residents on local shopping trips. Some residents require double-up care and assisted moving using hoists and other mobility aids. The service operates on a schedule of planned care calls, with additional ad‑hoc visits based on residents’ needs.

If you are looking for a new opportunity that offers ongoing hours, a strong sense of community, and the feel of community care without the travel, we would love to hear from you.

To apply for this role you must:

• Have 3 months experience within a similar care environment
• Have a checkable work history, covering the last 2 years as a minimum
• Have up-to-date mandatory training documents, Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults, Moving and Handling and Infection Control. Should you not have up-to-date certificates we can offer online training.
• Have an in-date enhanced DBS check. Should your DBS have expired we can offer the facility to arrange a new one for you.

If you do not have a valid DBS and/or training, do not worry as we can help you with this. We are happy to offer online training available at a subsidised fee and the certificates are yours to keep!

Please note that we do not offer sponsorships.

This role offers ongoing hours for the right person!

You will be working from 06:00 to 14:00 on Saturdays and/or Sundays.

You will be paid £12.21 per hour (rising to £13.33 after 13 weeks) with an enhancement of £16.24 for 06:00 to 07:00 hour worked.
