Job Description

As a carer, you’ll be supporting older adults to live well at home while becoming a familiar face they genuinely look forward to seeing.

No two days are ever the same, but your visits may include:

• Having a proper chat and providing companionship
• Supporting with personal care and daily routines
• Helping with meals and light household tasks
• Shopping, errands, and little trips out
• Taking clients to appointments or into the community
• Enjoying walks, hobbies, and outings together
• Helping with medication reminders
• Bringing confidence, comfort, and a bit of joy to someone’s day

This role could be perfect for you if you are:

• Warm, kind, and naturally caring
• Reliable and someone people can depend on
• Comfortable working independently
• Great at making people feel safe, valued, and comfortable
• Looking for a rewarding role that still leaves room for your own life, family, and weekends

This role is subject to an Enhanced DBS check and two professional references.

Please note that we do not offer sponsorship transfers for this role.
