About Us

ABC Care Recruitment Ltd. is a professional care staffing agency committed to connecting dedicated carers with high-quality organisations in the health and social care sector. We provide reliable staffing solutions to care homes, residential services, and supported living environments, while offering our carers flexibility, independence, and ongoing opportunities for work.

We understand that many care professionals value freedom and choice in their careers. That's why we offer work on a self-employed or zero-hours basis, ensuring you can choose when and where you work while still having access to a steady stream of opportunities.

The Role

We are looking for compassionate and experienced care staff to join our agency team. You will provide personal care, companionship, and practical support to individuals in need, helping them to live safely and comfortably. Work settings may include:

* Residential care homes
* Nursing homes
* Supported living services
* Community and respite care

As an agency carer, you will be matched with shifts that suit your availability. You will then invoice ABC Care Recruitment directly for the hours worked, giving you full control of your earnings and schedule.

What We Offer

* Flexibility – choose your shifts and locations around your lifestyle
* Regular work opportunities – we actively find shifts for you with our network of providers
* Competitive pay – weekly pay through self-employed invoicing
* Training and compliance support – mandatory training can be arranged through us if required
* DBS support – we can help you obtain your DBS check, with the cost spread over three months
* Dedicated support team – we're here to help you find the right work and succeed in your role

Requirements

To join our team, you will need:

* Previous experience working in a care setting (preferred but not essential for the right candidate)
* A valid DBS check (or willingness to complete one through ABC Care Recruitment)
* Up-to-date mandatory training certificates (or willingness to complete training with us)
* Compassion, reliability, and a professional attitude
* Eligibility to work in the UK
* Willingness to work on a self-employed or zero-hours basis

How It Works

* Register with ABC Care Recruitment as a self-employed carer (or on a zero-hours contract).
* We connect you with available shifts based on your skills and availability.
* You complete your shifts and then invoice us directly for your hours worked.
* You are paid weekly, giving you control over your finances.

Why Join ABC Care Recruitment?

By joining us, you become part of a professional, supportive agency that values both its carers and the people they look after. We go beyond simply finding you work – we provide training, compliance support, and a network of opportunities so you can focus on what matters most: delivering exceptional care.
