Are you passionate about supporting people to live independently? Do you want a rewarding role where no two days are the same? Join First City and make a real difference every day. We are currently recruiting Care Assistants to work within our Independent Living Hub based in Highworth. You will be placed in ONE location (Highworth) but to meet the needs of the business you may be requested to go to our other locations Rodbourne, Moredon or Wroughton. Ideally, you will have at least 6 months’ care experience; however, this is not essential as full paid training, and shadow shifts will be provided. We welcome both experienced carers and those looking to start a fulfilling career in care.
About the Role
As a Healthcare Assistant, you will promote independence and provide person-centred support tailored to each individual’s care plan. Duties may include:
- Providing high-quality, person-centred care
- Assisting with personal care (washing, incontinence support, dressing)
- Supporting with mobility and medication
- Helping with daily routines, meal preparation, and light domestic tasks
- Encouraging independence and wellbeing
- Working alongside healthcare professionals to achieve the best outcomes
Shifts Available
7:00am–2:30pm and/or 2:30pm–10:30/11:00pm. We are currently seeking Full-Time and Part Time hours. Weekend availability is essential for this role. We ask that you can commit to alternate weekends or one day every weekend.
About Our Independent Living Hubs
Our Hubs support individuals living in their own flats within a residential building. Care is delivered on-site 24/7, meaning you’ll travel from flat to flat within the same building ideal for non-drivers. We currently have 4 Hubs across Swindon. Support visits vary depending on individual needs. Alongside care, we also provide domestic support, shopping services, and carer relief. Each Hub also has a Day Centre, where individuals attend to socialise, enjoy meals, and participate in activities. You may also support within these settings. A driving licence is not required, but you must be able to travel to shifts starting at 7am or finishing at 10:30/11pm.

We’re seeking individuals who are:
- Honest, reliable, and trustworthy
- Caring, compassionate, cheerful, and friendly
- Comfortable providing hands‑on personal care
- Team players who can also use their own initiative
- Committed to delivering high standards of care
