As a Rural Community Carer, you'll provide high-quality care in people's homes while travelling through some of Devon's most beautiful countryside. Driving is a key part of this role, and we're looking for carers who are confident navigating country lanes:
* In early mornings, evenings, and at night
* In all weather conditions - from frosty lanes to summer storms
* Across remote rural locations where your visit truly makes the difference
Our care calls typically run between 7am and 10pm, so flexibility across these times is essential. You'll also be required to work alternate weekends as part of your contracted role.
This is a perfect opportunity for someone who loves the open road and is passionate about supporting people in their local communities.
What You'll Be Doing
* Providing person-centred care in customers' homes - supporting with personal care, medication, meals, and mobility
* Offering companionship and reassurance to customers and their families
* Promoting independence, dignity, and well-being in every visit
* Keeping accurate records of care delivered
* Driving safely to and from appointments across rural routes, ensuring you arrive reliably and ready to support
Requirements
* Recognised Health & Social Care qualifications (e.g. NVQ/Diploma Level 2 or 3) are desirable, or a willingness to work towards them.
* A caring, compassionate nature and commitment to professional standards
* Confident driving experience on rural roads, country lanes, and in all weather
* Flexibility to work shifts between 7am-10pm (including alternate weekends)
* Excellent communication skills and a friendly, reliable attitude
* Previous care experience is helpful, but full training and development will be provided
* A valid driving licence and access to a reliable car
We are a Disability Confident employer. As a Disability Confident employer, we will generally offer an interview to any applicant that declares they have a disability and meets the minimum criteria for the job as defined by the employer.
About the Role - More Than Care, It's the Journey Too
* £26,000 contracted salary - stable and reliable income
* Paid from the start of your shift to the end - not just per call
* Mileage allowance for your travel
* Paid induction and ongoing training
* Opportunities to gain formal care qualifications and progress your career
* Flexible working patterns within your contract
* A friendly, supportive team who genuinely value you
* The chance to make a real difference in the lives of rural customers
