Make an incredible difference to elderly people in their own homes.
The Role
Our Care assistants spend a minimum of 1 hour with each of our elderly private clients who live in their own homes across Wycombe, Beaconsfield, Stokenchurch, Amersham, Flackwell Heath, Holmer Green, the Chalfonts and surrounding areas.
Duties differ from visit to visit. Whilst some clients require varying levels of Personal Care, many just need a little help getting their meals prepared or keeping on top of basic housework or going to the shops. One task that will be ever-present is the ability to make a good cup of tea and have a friendly chat.
About You
You may or may not have previous care experience, it really does not matter as you will enjoy 4 days of face to face training. You will though need a full Driving Licence and access to a car. We have learned that many of the following words describe people who excel and enjoy working as a Home Carer:
* Kind
* Reliable
* Friendly
* Compassionate
* Chatty
* Honest
Are You New to Home Care?
As a brand new Care Assistant, going into someone’s home to deliver care and support can seem a daunting prospect. To ensure you are fully prepared all staff undertake a thorough training program followed by regular ongoing and refresher training.
Your initial home visits will always be carried out with a colleague whilst you ‘find your feet’. You will also have management support on every home visit you then make. Never will you be ‘thrown in at the deep end’
Flexible Hours of Work
Pperhaps you are looking for just 15-20 hrs per week, or maybe you would prefer 25, 30 or even 40+ hrs per week, which is great.
We offer work in the mornings, afternoons, evenings and weekends which allows your job to fit around your home life. Generally, we are visiting clients 7 days a week from 7am - 10pm. We also provide night care, which may appeal to you?
What’s In It For You?
The competitive pay from £14.50 rising to £20.60 on bank holidays.
PLUS: holiday pay, paid mileage, realistic travel time between clients and company pension contributions are all important.
But what most of our Home Support Assistants say they value is; being part of a supportive team, having their suggestions listened to, learning new skills and doing a job that consistently delivers personal satisfaction.

Career Development

Where possible, we always look to promote from within, which is supported by the relevant training and coaching to help you move up the career ladder, should you wish.
