Anchusa Care - Good overall and Outstanding for Caring (CQC), Excellent three times in PAMMS, with the HCPA Care Culture Award 2023 and HCPA Most Innovative Homecare Team 2024.
The Team - We are a family-run home care company, run from our office in Hitchin by Kelly-Jo, with her brother Bruce and sister Cher on the team. You won’t be just a name on a rota here. We know our carers, our door is always open, and if something matters to you, it matters to us. Around a third of our carers have been with us for five years or more, and every member of our operations team started out as a carer.
The Job - We support people to live independently in their own homes for as long as they would like. Your calls include personal care, medication, meals, continence care, household tasks and companionship - and, most importantly, putting a smile on someone’s face. You will record each visit on our care app.
What your working day looks like:
- Permanent rounds: you’ll see the same people each week, so you get to know them and they get to know you
- 4-5 people per round, all in one town, so you’re caring, not sitting in traffic
- Almost all visits are 30 minutes or longer, so there’s time to do things properly
- Support whenever you’re working: our on-call team is available 7am-10pm, seven days a week

- £14.85 per hour for your call time, plus 40p per mile
