Care Assistant – Full & Part Time
Areas Covered: Leatherhead, Ashtead, Fetcham, Bookham and surrounding areas
Contract: Permanent | Flexible working options
Some people are naturally caring.
If that’s you, this role could be more than just a job.
We’re looking for kind, dependable female Care Assistants who want to support people to live safely and happily in their own homes — while being supported just as well themselves.
You don’t need previous care experience. What matters most is your compassion, reliability, and willingness to learn.
-----------------------------------
We Pay You Fairly — For All Your Time
Your time matters. That’s why you’re paid not only for time spent with clients, but also for travelling between visits — calculated fairly and accurately to reflect your real day.
* £13.50 per hour (weekdays)
* £15.50 per hour (weekends)
* £13.00 per hour for travel time
* 45p per mile mileage
-----------------------------------
Working Patterns That Fit Real Life
We offer flexibility wherever possible, with:
* Full-time and part-time roles available
* Morning shifts: 7am – 2pm
* Evening shifts: 4pm – 10pm
* Alternate weekends, or every Saturday or Sunday
* Occasional night shifts available (10pm – 7am)
-----------------------------------
You’ll Never Be Left to Figure It Out Alone
Every new Care Assistant completes a 12-week supported induction and onboarding programme, designed to help you feel confident, capable, and safe in your role.
This includes:
* A warm introduction to the team, values, and care approach
* Training on safeguarding, equality, and person-centred care
* Practical moving & handling with equipment
* Basic life support, medication support, and pressure care
* Health & safety, hygiene, and food preparation
You’ll also have a dedicated mentor during your first 12 weeks — someone who checks in, answers questions, and supports you every step of the way.
-----------------------------------
What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll be supporting people in the community who need help to remain independent in their own homes. Your day may include:
* Personal care delivered with dignity and respect
* Helping with household tasks
* Medication support
* Offering companionship and reassurance
Often, the most important thing you give is your time, your patience, and your kindness.
