Most care jobs feel transactional: you turn up, do your shifts, and leave. This one isn't like that. We're looking for someone genuinely passionate about building real relationships with the young people we support - someone who sees a day spent helping someone plan their future, master a new skill, or simply enjoy a good conversation as a day well spent. If that's you, this role could be the start of a proper career, not just another job
Imagine starting your day knowing exactly what your rota looks like, with real flexibility to take on extra hours when you want them. You're part of a tight-knit team that actually communicates openly, where your ideas are heard and your wellbeing matters as much as the work you do. You're not a cog in a machine - you're a trusted presence in someone's life, and people notice that
Your mornings might involve supporting someone through breakfast and helping them plan their day ahead. Afternoons could be anything from teaching life skills like cooking or budgeting, joining in with hobbies they love, or simply going for a walk and having a real conversation. You build genuine progress together, celebrate the wins, and know that you've made a tangible difference
The training and career development here is serious. There's a clear progression pathway, and the home genuinely invests in helping you grow - whether you're brand new to care or bringing years of experience. You'll also get access to perks that show they value your wellbeing: life insurance at 2x your salary, 24/7 virtual GP appointments, mental health support, and an employee assistance programme through the Wisdom App. That's the kind of employer that remembers you're a person, not just a pair of hands
What you will be doing
- Support young people with planning their days, preparing meals, and attending appointments - being that reliable, caring presence they can count on
- Teach and encourage life skills including cooking, budgeting, and independence - watching real progress and celebrating it together
- Engage in hobbies, activities, and social time; go for walks, have conversations, and build the genuine relationships that make this work meaningful
- Work as part of a collaborative team, communicating openly and contributing to decisions that improve the lives of the young people you support
Why you will love working here
- Life insurance at 2x your salary, giving you and your loved ones genuine peace of mind
- 24/7 access to virtual GP appointments, mental health support, and nutrition advice - because your wellbeing matters
- A structured rota with real flexibility to take on overtime when it suits you, plus an employee assistance programme via the Wisdom App
- Clear career progression and proper training investment - we genuinely want to help you grow
- Earn a £500 refer-a-friend bonus when you recommend someone great to join the team
Is this you?
- Are you 25 or older? (This is required due to insurance purposes)
- Are you kind, patient, and genuinely passionate about helping others - someone who shows up with real purpose every single day?
- Are you reliable and a great communicator who actually enjoys working as part of a team?
- Are you open to learning and growth? You don't need experience - just the right attitude and a willingness to develop
