✨ About Us

We are a small, family-run care provider built on genuine care and strong values. Our Registered Manager, Charlotte, has over 20 years’ experience as a paramedic, and works alongside her daughter Beth, our Assistant Manager.

What makes us different is that our management team is fully hands-on. Both Charlotte and Beth:

• Work in the office and on-call
• Regularly work out in the community delivering care

This means:

• We personally know all of our clients and carers
• Support is always from people who understand the role firsthand
• Care is truly personalised, not just scheduled

As a Care Assistant, you’ll support a regular group of clients each week, helping to build strong, trusting relationships.

You’ll deliver person-centred care in line with individual care plans, including:

• Personal care
• Meal preparation
• Medication support
• Companionship and social interaction
• Dementia care
• Light housekeeping
• Monitoring wellbeing and reporting concerns

✨ What We Offer

• Fixed, reliable shifts every week
• Alternate weekends
• Consistent clients — no constant changes
• Friendly, supportive, and stable team
• Regular social events and active team support

✨ What Our Team Says

“Don’t hesitate — apply now, you won’t regret it! The company is truly supportive, both to staff and clients. I came from retail management and wish I’d made the move sooner. Great team, flexible hours, and the best clients. You’ll love it here!”
— Fiona, Care Assistant

If you’re compassionate, reliable, and want a role where you’re valued, supported, and part of a genuinely hands-on team, we’d love to hear from you.
