Overview
At Ann Mason Care, we believe great care starts with great people. We are a local, family run care company providing domiciliary care, live-in care, and rehabilitation in the villages around Colchester and Ipswich. We help our clients stay safe, happy, and independent in their own homes — and we care just as deeply about our team. You will be supported, valued, and trained to succeed, whether you are experienced or new to care.
About the Role
We are looking for kind, reliable, and compassionate people to join our growing care team as Care Assistants in the above areas. You will provide personal and practical support to people helping them live with dignity, independence, and comfort.
No experience? No problem. We offer full paid training, mentoring, and ongoing professional development so you can build confidence and progress in your career.

* If you’ve worked as a Care Assistant, Home Carer, Community Support Worker, or Domiciliary Carer, we’d love to hear from you — but it’s not essential.
