Care Assistant

£13 - £13.67 per hour

What You’ll Be Doing

As a Care Professional, you’ll provide essential care and support in the homes of our clients, following personalised care plans that put dignity and respect at the heart of everything you do.

You’ll help with:

  • Supporting with personal care – bathing, dressing, toileting, grooming
  • Assisting with medication – preparation and administration
  • Helping with mobility and using aids/equipment safely
  • Preparing meals/snacks and offering mealtime support
  • Carrying out light domestic duties – laundry, making beds, light cleaning
  • Offering companionship and building meaningful relationships

What Else You’ll Help With

  • Companionship – conversations, activities, outings
  • Medication Management – collecting prescriptions, reminders, safe administration
  • Nutrition & Mealtimes – cooking nutritious meals, considering dietary needs
  • Housekeeping – light cleaning, laundry, tidying
  • Mobility Assistance – transfers, walking support, use of aids
  • Health Monitoring – observing and reporting changes in condition
  • Social Inclusion – helping maintain community and family connections
  • Emotional Support – empathy, reassurance, and a listening ear
  • Documentation – accurate record keeping
  • Safety & Emergency Response – creating safe environments, acting quickly when needed
  • Collaboration – working closely with colleagues, professionals, and families

Qualifications


What You’ll Need (Besides a Cape!)

Hold onto your hats, because you don't need any social care experience to join our merry band of care crusaders! We offer full, paid training — all you need is a heart of gold, reliability, and the drive to make a difference.

  • Driving Requirement: Access to a vehicle is strictly required due to the geographical nature of this role (you must hold a valid driving licence).
  • Genuine compassion and respect for others (kindness goes a long way!)
  • Strong communication and listening skills (that would make a UN diplomat jealous)
  • A positive, can-do attitude (as resilient as a rubber band and eager to learn)
  • Problem-solving abilities
  • Reliability and a caring, supportive nature
  • The right to work in the UK (sorry, time travellers from the future need not apply)

✨ If you’re kind-hearted, dependable, and ready to make every day a little brighter — you’ve already got what it takes to be a Care Assistant hero!
