We are looking for people to work in care with or without experience or a car in the Darwen, Mill Hill, Audley & Whalley Range areas of Blackburn.
If you have experience, training and qualifications, that's a bonus. If you have a Level 2 or above in adult social care, your pay starts at £13/hour.

At Choice Care, we provide the best possible care, support, and complex care for those that need it - including people coming to the end of life, those with dementia, sensory impairment, or physical difficulties, spinal and head injuries – enabling our clients to live in their own homes with dignity and enjoy the best possible quality of life.
With a starting hourly rate of £12.25 per hour, your training will be completed in our training room.
Once you pass your probationary period, your hourly rate will increase to £12.60.
At that point, you start your Level 2 or 3 NVQ qualification, and when you achieve that, your pay goes up to £13.00.
We look forward to meeting you at interview.

About The Company
Choice Care was founded in 1999 by husband and wife, Andrew and Fiona Key. With more than 25 years’ experience in the health and social care sector, Andrew and Fiona combined their background in nursing with a passion for delivering high-quality home care services in Lancashire.
We work closely with organisations such as East Lancashire Hospice, the Stroke Association, Dementia UK, Parkinson’s UK, and the MS Society to share resources and make sure our staff are up to date on the latest skills and training. Our team of dedicated carers are all vetted and trained to gain the qualifications they need to help them carve out a long-term career in care.
Company Culture
We provide induction training and carers must reach the required level of knowledge in each subject area.
New recruits will also be working on achieving their diploma/NVQ qualification in care, which takes between 6 and 9 months to complete.
