Most care jobs feel like you're just clocking in and clocking out, watching the clock more than building real relationships with the people you support. But this role is different: you'll be part of a team that actually practises what it preaches about compassion, and you'll get genuine support for your own wellbeing while you're making a real difference every single day
Picture this: you arrive for your shift and sit down over breakfast with someone to help them plan their day. You're not rushing through a checklist; you're having a real conversation. Later, you're cooking together, or heading out for a walk and a chat, or celebrating progress you've both worked towards. Every single day you build trust and see the impact of showing up as a present, caring human being
The team here isn't a bunch of strangers who happen to work in the same building. You'll communicate openly, make decisions that matter, and feel supported by people who genuinely have your back. That's because the organisation believes in looking after the people who look after others, and they back it up with real investment in your training, your progression, and your mental health
Whether you're brand new to care or bringing years of experience, you'll get structured development and clear pathways to grow your skills and your career. You're not left to figure it out alone: training is built in, your wellbeing is prioritised, and your contribution is recognised and rewarded
What you will be doing
- Support young people with daily living activities like meal planning, preparation, budgeting and household tasks that build real independence
- Build meaningful relationships and be a trusted presence, helping people plan their days and celebrating their progress
- Engage in hobbies, activities and community outings alongside the young people you support
- Work collaboratively with your team, communicating openly and making informed decisions that improve outcomes
- Attend appointments and be a supportive presence during important moments in people's lives
Why you will love working here
- Life insurance worth 2x your salary, giving genuine financial protection for you and your loved ones
- 24/7 access to Smart Health for virtual GP appointments, mental health support and nutrition advice whenever you need it
- An Employee Assistance Programme via the Wisdom App, bringing real mental health resources and wellbeing support to your phone
- Structured rota with genuine overtime opportunities, so you can control your schedule and earn extra when it suits you
- Clear training and progression pathways with ongoing development, plus £500 referral bonuses when you recommend someone great to join us
Is this you?
- Are you genuinely kind and patient, with a real passion for helping others make progress?
- Can you show up reliably and bring purpose to every shift, even on the tough days?
- Do you communicate well and actually enjoy working as part of a team rather than solo?
- Are you open to learning and developing, whether you're starting from scratch or bringing experience?
- Do you have a valid UK driving licence and access to reliable transport for shift work?
