Overview
You notice the little things. Like when someone’s wearing their favourite jumper and walking a little taller because of it. Like how a quiet cuppa can say more than words. That gentle awareness, the ability to care without rushing and to see without being told, is what we value most.
At CrossReach, our Care Workers don’t just support people. They become part of someone’s story. They help create moments of dignity, confidence and calm that stay with someone long after the shift ends.
You don’t need to come from a care background. If you notice when someone is struggling, step in without being asked and find joy in helping others feel comfortable and valued, you’re already halfway there.
Responsibilities
* Helping someone start the day with confidence, from personal care to a warm conversation
* Noticing when something’s not quite right and responding with care
* Sharing everyday moments like a laugh, a memory or a walk in the garden
* Working alongside families, colleagues and professionals to make sure care is just right
What you’ll bring (Requirements)
* A kind, patient approach and the ability to put others at ease
* Flexibility to work shifts, including evenings and weekends
* Respect for our Christian ethos and for each person’s own beliefs
* Some basic digital skills or a willingness to learn
What you’ll gain
* Support and funding to work towards your SVQ Level 3
* A team who’ve got your back and understand the value of everyday kindness
* A role that offers real purpose, where your actions help someone feel safe and at home
If you don’t tick every box, please apply anyway. We’re looking for people with the right heart, not a perfect CV. If this sounds like the kind of work you’d find meaningful, we’d love to hear from you.
Click ‘Apply’ and take your first step into a role where the little things make a big difference.
