Bluebird Care Glasgow South | £14.25 per hour + Paid Travel Time and Paid Mileage | Evening & Alternate Weekend Shifts

Looking for flexible work in the evenings and at weekends?

Are you looking for a rewarding job that fits around your existing commitments? Perhaps you work during the day and want to earn extra income, are looking for a part‑time role, or simply want a job where you can make a genuine difference to someone's life.

At Bluebird Care Glasgow South, we believe some of the most important skills in care are the ones you may already have.

Your patience, kindness, understanding and ability to put someone else's needs first are all qualities that can make you a wonderful Care Assistant.

You don't need previous care experience. Sometimes, the skills you already have are the perfect place to start.

Turn your everyday skills into something special

Whether you're supporting family members, helping friends or simply someone who enjoys making others feel comfortable and valued, your everyday skills can make a real difference in care.

Imagine using your patience to reassure an older person who feels anxious, your organisational skills to help someone with their evening routine, or your natural warmth to brighten someone's day with a friendly chat and a cup of tea.

For the people we support, these everyday moments can mean everything.

Work around your commitments

We understand that everyone has different commitments and that evenings and weekends can be the ideal time to work.

At Bluebird Care Glasgow South, we're looking for caring, reliable people who are available to support our customers during evening shifts and on alternate weekends (every second weekend).

Whether you're looking to earn extra income alongside another job, fit work around other responsibilities or take the first step towards a rewarding career in care, this could be the opportunity for you.

The Shifts We're Looking To Cover Include

• Evenings: 4pm–10pm
• Alternate weekends: Availability every second weekend

These shifts offer the opportunity to earn while helping people remain safe, comfortable and independent in their own homes.

What we offer

• £14.25 per hour
• Evening and alternate-weekend shifts
• Full induction and expert training – no previous care experience needed
• Uniform and PPE provided
• Paid travel time and mileage
• Ongoing learning and career development opportunities
• A supportive management team and 24/7 guidance
• The opportunity to build a rewarding and meaningful career around your lifestyle

What will you be doing?

As a Care Assistant, you'll support people to live safely, comfortably and independently in their own homes.

Your Day May Include

• Providing friendly companionship and a listening ear
• Helping with personal care while maintaining dignity and respect
• Preparing meals and encouraging healthy eating and hydration
• Supporting people with their evening routines and medication, following their care plans and training
• Helping with light household tasks
• Offering reassurance and helping customers feel confident and independent
• Helping customers settle comfortably and safely at the end of the day

Every visit is an opportunity to make someone feel cared for, valued and less alone.

What we're looking for

You don't need previous care experience. We're looking for people who are:

• Kind, patient and compassionate
• Reliable, responsible and trustworthy
• Good at communicating and building relationships
• Confident working independently and following guidance
• Keen to learn and make a positive difference
• Available to work evenings and alternate weekends

A full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle are essential, as you'll travel between customers' homes.

Your caring skills could make all the difference

Perhaps you're looking to boost your income alongside another job. Perhaps you're seeking a part‑time role, considering a career change or simply hoping to find work that gives you a real sense of purpose.

The patience, compassion and understanding you bring to everyday life could be exactly what someone else needs.

At Bluebird Care Glasgow South, we value the person behind the role just as much as the skills they bring.

Make a difference. Earn extra income. Find work that fits your life.
