About the Company

Amazin Care is an expanding Care Company operating in the London Borough of Bexley and Dartford Borough Council, Greenwich, Kent. We require Full Time Support Workers for our Supported Living Services and Outreach Services to actively promote and demonstrate Amazin Care's philosophy of care which encourages clients to do as much as possible for themselves. We have Supported Living homes in Erith and Gravesend as well as outreach services around North Kent, and you may need to cover shifts in either.

We value the incredible jobs that our Support Workers do and have a genuine commitment to providing high quality care. Joining Amazin Care, we promise you’ll be rewarded and well looked after. We’ll also guide you through the recruitment process and arrange your ‘paid for’ shadowing and Care Certificate training. Amazin Care Ltd is a fast-growing company. We work as a team and we are very proud of our Support Workers. As a team, we truly make a difference to people’s lives every single day. We expect dedication, empathy, and professionalism from our Support Workers – and in return, they receive the best possible training, support, and flexibility. Knowing that we all work together to change people’s lives for the better is a wonderful thing.
