Domiciliary Care Assistant in Staines

Pay: From £12.50 per hour

Contract: Permanent | Flexible working options

Sometimes the smallest moments make the biggest difference. We are looking for caring, patient, and compassionate Care Workers to support people in their own homes and communities, helping them live with dignity, comfort, and independence. This is a role for someone who doesn't just do care, but feels it. Someone who understands that a conversation, a smile, or simply being there can mean the world to another person.

A Role That Truly Matters

As a Care Worker, you'll be supporting individuals who need a little extra help due to age, illness, disability, or changes in their health. Every day will be different, but the heart of the role stays the same: treating people with kindness, respect, and understanding. Sometimes you may be the only person a client sees that day, which makes what you do even more important.

Pay & Working Pattern

• You'll be paid £12.50 per hour, with hours agreed around your availability wherever possible. The pay will increase with job progression.
• Rotas run Monday to Sunday.
• Schedules are shared in advance so you can plan ahead.
• Alternate weekend working is required.
• Shifts include early mornings and a minimum of two late evenings.
• Call times typically range from 6:30am to 10:00pm.
• Part-time roles are available alongside ongoing rota commitments.

What You'll Be Doing

Your role will be varied and meaningful, including:

• Supporting with personal care such as washing, dressing, and medication.
• Preparing meals and helping maintain a clean, comfortable home.
• Offering companionship, conversation, and emotional reassurance.
• Encouraging activities that stimulate the mind and lift the spirit.
• Accompanying clients to appointments or social outings (where appropriate).
• Helping with shopping and small errands.
• Observing and reporting any changes in health or wellbeing.
• Keeping clear, accurate daily records.

Above all, you'll help people feel safe, respected, and cared for.

Training & Support

You won't be expected to know everything from day one. You'll receive:

• A full induction.
• Ongoing in-house training.
• Regular support from supervisors and managers.
• Opportunities to attend training sessions and team meetings.

You'll be part of a wider care team where your observations, ideas, and input are valued.

Who This Role Is For

This role could be perfect if you are:

• Naturally caring, patient, and compassionate.
• A good listener who enjoys helping others.
• Comfortable working independently but happy to be part of a team.
• Flexible, practical, and reliable.

Previous care experience or qualifications are welcomed, but not essential; the right attitude matters most. We also encourage applications from those with backgrounds in other sectors who feel drawn to care.

Important Responsibilities

• Follow care plans and risk assessments.
• Maintain confidentiality and respect privacy at all times.
• Work safely and responsibly, looking after yourself and others.
• Report concerns or changes promptly.
• Build positive, trusting relationships with clients and colleagues.

• A full UK driving licence.
• Your own reliable vehicle.
• Excellent spoken English.
• The right to work in the UK (sponsorship is not available).
• Ideally living within reasonable distance of the local area.
