Are you naturally caring and want to make a difference in people's lives? If you are kind, compassionate and committed, we would love for you to join our dedicated local care team, as a domiciliary care assistant for Manorcourt Homecare. In this role, you will provide high-quality, person-centred care to individuals in their own homes, helping them to maintain their health, wellbeing, and independence.

Whether you are an experienced care assistant, support worker, or someone new to care, we provide full training and ongoing support to help you thrive. We will support you with a thorough induction and training programme to develop your skills, along with the guidance of a well-established team, who will truly value and support you.

In return, we offer a comprehensive benefits package including:
