Job Title: Care Assistant
That means that we've got time for our Care Assistants to pop into the office whenever they want for a cup of coffee and a chat, time to listen to their concerns, time to give them the support they need. It means our Care Assistants have got time to focus on their clients rather than rushing through a list of tasks as quickly as possible, which is why all of our visits are at least an hour long. We're passionate about giving our Care Assistants the best support possible and providing excellent care for our clients, and we know that to do those things well, we need to have time for people-because people are at the heart of what we do.

Assisting with personal care
Helping with housework
Whatever our Care Assistants are doing, they're dedicated to taking the time to provide excellent and warm-hearted care. In turn, our Care Assistants know that they're working for a company that always has time for them and that values the fantastic work they do.
We welcome experienced carers and people who are new to care-either way, we provide full training and support.
