Domiciliary Care Worker — Weekends
The Care Bureau | Rugby
A weekend role that makes a real difference.
Ever had one of those days where a small act of kindness made everything better? That's basically the job description. As a Weekend Domiciliary Care Worker with The Care Bureau, you'll help people live independently, safely, and happily in their own homes — and you'll finish your shift knowing you've genuinely made a difference to someone's life.
This role is all about weekends — giving people support on Saturdays and Sundays. No previous care experience needed — just a kind heart and a bit of patience. And if you've cared for a family member, volunteered, or worked in retail, hospitality or similar people-facing roles, those skills count for more than you'd think.
What You'll Be Doing
No two weekends are the same. You might be:
- Helping someone get washed, dressed or changed and settled for the day
- Preparing meals and snacks according to what they fancy
- Popping to the shops or picking up a prescription
- Giving someone a hand with their medication
- Doing a bit of light housework, laundry or tidying up
- Simply being there — company, conversation, and a friendly face at the weekend
It's hands-on, it's varied, and it genuinely matters. You'll be supporting people to stay independent, comfortable and dignified in their own homes.
Weekend Hours Only
This role is strictly weekends — no weekday commitment required:
- Shifts run across Saturday and Sunday, between 6:30am and 10:30pm
- Work one weekend day, both, or every weekend — it's up to you
- Ideal if your weekdays are already taken up with another job, studies, or family life — or you simply prefer working weekends
- No long shifts stuck in one place — visits are short and varied, so the day flies by
What We're Looking For
- A caring, patient and reliable nature
- Good communication skills
- A full driving licence and access to a vehicle (required, for getting between visits)
- Willingness to learn — full training is provided, so previous care experience isn't essential
- A DBS check will be required (don't worry, we cover the cost — see below!)
If you're kind, dependable and want a weekend job where you can really see the difference you make, that's the most important qualification.

Why Care Work?
Because it's real. Because you'll build genuine relationships with the people you support. Because weekends are often when people need a friendly face the most, and family or other support isn't always around. It's not always easy, but it's rarely boring, and it's one of the few jobs where you can finish a shift knowing exactly what good you've done.
