Shifts

• This is a community-based home care worker role, and you’ll support clients predominantly around Melksham, Devizes & surrounding areas.
• As a company we cover Bath, Trowbridge, Corsham, Keynsham, Saltford & Weston and surrounding areas, so you may need to travel beyond your standard area occasionally.
• You need a valid UK driving licence and access to a vehicle for work. You also need to have a right to work in the UK and settled status as we’re unable to offer sponsorship.
• You’ll be paid for your full shift, from the first minute of your first visit right through to the last minute of your last visit in each shift.

What experience do you need?

• We hire on attitude, so even those without any previous experience can succeed in the home carer industry, you just need to have the passion to want to care and support others and make a positive difference to their lives.
• We believe every individual deserves the opportunity to experience life with support from quality home care services. This is why all candidates go through our paid full induction training before heading out to support clients. And don’t worry, there will always be support available throughout each shift from both your dedicated manager and teammates.

Community teams

To support our business growth, we’ve created Community Teams. It’s our way of organising ourselves to provide the best care for our clients and the best experience for our carers. Everyone within your small and locally focused Community Team will know each other well, support each other fully, and know all your clients as people, not just names.

We’re passionate about making lives better for clients, carers, and our communities, and this is just one step we’re taking to put that into practice – to make sure we walk the talk!
