Care Assistant (part-time)

*Please note you are required to live in or around Felixstowe for this role* thank you

Our home care service is one of just 4% in England, rated as "Outstanding" and our Caregivers support adults in their own homes.

Our regulator wrote this about us: "People were at the very heart of the service ... The philosophy and values were shared across the team ...One staff member said, "The training is superb."

We currently require caring individuals to support clients to remain in their own homes. You will need to offer some week-day availability, plus some weekend OR evening availability. You will need enough availability for our office team to ensure you achieve the working hours you require.

We understand the importance of a good work-life balance and our Caregivers are as important to us as our clients. Contact us to discuss a range of options.

Some of our amazing team had no 'formal' care experience before joining us, and some say Caregiving isn't like an everyday job - it's rewarding, and they feel like a valued professional. This is how care should be!

Whether or not you have experience of caring, you will have excellent training, you will 'shadow' experienced Caregivers and be introduced to your regular clients. Visits are not rushed, and are a minimum of one hour.
