Home Carer (Mornings - 15 hr contract)

Overview

Windrush Care is looking for people of all backgrounds and experience to provide genuine person-centred care and support to older people in the Cheltenham and North Cotswolds area. Windrush Care is a small, independent and family-owned business based in the centre of Cheltenham. We provide our services to a predominantly private group of clients who are able to continue living in their own homes.

What we offer

First and foremost, flexibility. Most of our other carers work around other jobs and family life, and we believe in a healthy work-life balance. If you just wish to work earlies OR lates, or a combination of the two, that is fine with us.

We offer a competitive hourly wage of £12.70 per hour (Mon-Fri) and £14.70 per hour (Weekends) + enhancements for Bank holidays, plus 40p per mile (From home to first call and onwards, then back home).

• Availability from 07.00am – 10.00am
• Week 1 (Mon-Fri)
• Week 2 – (3 days in week and the weekend availability)

Extra hours are available if required.

What makes Windrush Care stand out
