Home care jobs
Is caring for others what you do best?
Joining our home care team means that you can put your compassion to good use, and change the lives of many people – with a schedule that suits you.
Becoming a home care assistant is a great contribution to your community, looking after the needs of people who most likely have lived in your area for a long time.
Home care offers a fantastic opportunity to make lasting connections, and meet wonderful people. Additionally, its flexibility can suit anyone’s lifestyle. This is true in Harry’s case, who began his career in care work after retirement.
Home care is usually considered the first step on the care ladder for people who need some assistance to retain their independence. It can be as simple as helping someone get up and about in the morning, or to help them take their medication, feed their pets or keep them mobile around their home.
Ultimately our care assistants need to act with care, kindness and dignity, building relationships with their customers and helping them enjoy their lives.
We have many opportunities across England for home care jobs, including care assistants and senior care assistants.

“I had previously worked in care over 20 years ago, but coming back to it now was so much easier. I applied for a domiciliary role and started the following week. I’m enjoying updating my training and I love what I do.” (Aaron, Home care assistant)
