Post-Discharge Home Carer — Restore Independence in Salisbury

Make a real difference to people's lives, every single day. Join a Salisbury team that values kindness, consistency and the kind of care that feels like family. At Cathedral Home Healthcare, we believe that the quality of care we provide starts with the quality of the people who deliver it. That is why we take exactly the same bespoke, thoughtful approach to our team as we do to the people we support. If you are someone who genuinely cares about making a difference, who wants to build real relationships with the people you look after and who is looking for a role where your work truly matters, we would love to hear from you.

Why people choose to work at Cathedral Home Healthcare:

• The same familiar clients: Wherever possible, you will work with the same clients regularly, giving you the chance to build genuine, meaningful relationships rather than arriving somewhere new every day.
• Clear hours and pay: Your hours and pay are always confirmed clearly and in advance. We also offer enhanced rates for weekend and overnight work, and mileage is covered for travel between clients.
• A supportive, friendly team: Our team is small enough that everyone knows each other. Management is always reachable when you need guidance, support or simply a conversation.
• Flexible hours: Daytime visits, evening support, overnight care and live-in placements mean there is genuine flexibility to find something that fits your circumstances.
• Training and development: Every member of our team receives thorough induction training before they begin, along with ongoing support and development throughout their career with us.
• Work that genuinely matters: Every visit, every conversation and every moment of reassurance you provide has a real and lasting impact on someone's quality of life and on their family's peace of mind.

What we look for in our team:

Experience in care is valued, but it is not always the most important thing. What matters most to us is that you are kind, reliable, patient and genuinely interested in the people you are looking after. We will provide the training. The character has to come from you. All successful applicants will be required to undergo an enhanced DBS check prior to starting with us. Safeguarding is at the heart of everything we do, for our clients and our team.

Current vacancies:

• Day Home Carer: Salisbury city centre and surrounding villages. Part time and full time available, Monday to Friday with some weekend shifts. £16 per hour. We are looking for a warm, reliable day carer to carry out regular visits to clients in and around Salisbury. You will provide personal care, meal preparation, companionship and general home help, working with a consistent set of clients who will come to know and trust you over time. Experience preferred but not essential. Full training provided.
• Overnight Sleep-in Carer: Salisbury and Amesbury. Overnight shifts, 9pm to 7am. We are looking for calm, reassuring carers to provide overnight sleep-in support for clients who need the peace of mind of knowing someone is in the home through the night. You will be sleeping while the client sleeps, but on hand to assist once or twice through the night if needed, and will carry out a brief morning handover before leaving. Previous overnight care experience is desirable. Full training provided.
• Waking Night Carer: Salisbury and Wilton. Overnight waking shifts, typically 10pm to 7am. This role is for carers who are comfortable remaining awake throughout the night to provide active support and assistance to clients with more complex needs. You will monitor well-being, assist with personal care where required and ensure the client is safe and comfortable throughout the night. Experience in a similar role is preferred. Full training and ongoing support provided.
• Live-in Carer: Across Salisbury and surrounding areas. Live-in placements, typically two to four weeks on with two weeks off. We are looking for experienced live-in carers to join our team and provide round-the-clock companionship and support for clients living independently in their own homes. You will become a trusted, familiar presence in someone's daily life, supporting them with personal care, meals, household tasks, appointments and the routines that make their day feel their own. Previous live-in care experience is required for this role. Flexible, based on discharge schedules, daytime and some weekend availability required. £16 per hour. This role involves supporting clients in the immediate period following discharge from hospital, helping them settle safely back at home and reducing the risk of readmission. You will assist with personal care, medication prompting, mobility, meal preparation and regular communication with family members and healthcare professionals. Experience working with post-discharge or rehabilitation clients is preferred.
• Companionship and Welfare Visitor: Salisbury and surrounding villages including Downton, Fordingbridge and Whiteparish. Flexible daytime hours, weekdays with some weekend availability. £16 per hour. This is a rewarding role for someone who understands the value of conversation, familiarity and genuine human connection. You will carry out regular welfare visits to clients, providing companionship, light home help, medication prompting and well-being monitoring, and you will become a trusted and valued presence in their week. No formal care experience required. A warm, patient and reliable personality is what matters most.
