No Experience Needed | Full Training Provided | A Job That Truly Matters

Have you ever thought, “I’d love a job where I actually help people”?

If you’re kind, reliable, and want work that leaves you feeling proud at the end of the day, you might be exactly who we’re looking for — no experience required.

Why This Role Is So Special

With a growing population of younger adults looking to access more opportunities and older adults needing a wee hand as a Community Support Assistant, you’ll support people to attend various groups and in their own homes, helping them stay independent, comfortable, and cared for. Sometimes that means practical support, sometimes it’s simply being a friendly face and a listening ear — and often, it’s both. Don’t worry if you’ve never worked in care before. We’ll be with you every step of the way, with full training, paid shadowing, and on-going support.

You will learn and be supported to build confidence in:

Supporting people to go for their shopping or days out

Supporting with medication

Providing companionship and emotional support

Food and Nutrition

Preparing meals and helping at mealtimes

Light household tasks

Helping people move safely and comfortably

Personal care (washing, dressing, toileting)

Simple written and electronic record-keeping and reporting

Who This Role Is Perfect For

You don’t need experience — just the right values.

We’re looking for people who are:

Caring, patient, and dependable

Friendly with good communication skills

Keen to learn and grow

Flexible to work shifts, including some weekends

Hold a full UK driving licence and have access to their own car

Have the right to work in the UK

If you’ve ever helped a family member, neighbour, or friend — you already have more care skills than you think

What you will Get in Return

£13.45 per hour and increasing with qualifications

Paid induction training and shadowing

The chance to gain SVQ Level 2 in Health & Social Care

Paid mileage and travel time

Uniform and PPE provided

Flexible shift patterns

Clear opportunities to progress your career

Refer-a-friend bonus

A genuinely rewarding role where you make a real difference, every single day

Working Hours at this time are 16-20 hours per week, 3-5 days over 7, but due to demand for services, we may be able to suit your working requirements if the days and hours don’t match your availability.

Final Word

Care isn’t “just a job” — it’s a chance to change someone’s day, every day. If that sounds like something you’d love to be part of, we’d be delighted to hear from you.

Read the Friendly FAQs below – To Know You’re Not Alone

“I’ve never worked in care before — should I still apply?” Absolutely!

Many of our best support staff started with no experience at all. If you’re kind, reliable, and willing to learn, we’ll give you all the training and support you need.

“What if I’m nervous or not confident?”

That’s completely normal — and very common! You won’t be thrown in at the deep end. You’ll start with paid induction training and shadow experienced carers until you feel comfortable and confident.

“What does the training involve?”

Your training covers everything you need to know, including personal care, medication support, moving and handling, and keeping people safe and comfortable. It’s practical, supportive, and designed to help you grow at your own pace.

“Will I be working on my own?”

Not at first. You’ll be supported through shadow shifts and you’ll always have a team you can contact for advice or reassurance. You’re never on your own — even when working independently.

“What if I make a mistake?”

Everyone learns by doing. We focus on support, learning, and teamwork — not blame. There’s always someone to talk to if you’re unsure or need help.

“Is care work really rewarding?”

Yes — in ways that often surprise people. From a smile, a thank you, or knowing you’ve helped someone stay independent in their own home, the rewards are real and meaningful.

“Can this turn into a long-term career?” Definitely!

Many of our support staff will go on to gain qualifications like SVQ Level 2, take on senior roles, or build a long-term career in health and social care. Most of our staff members have been with us for years and our newest staff member has been with us for 9 months and has already commenced an SVQ2.
