If you're someone with a warm heart, a positive outlook, and a passion for helping others, then we'd love to welcome you to our team!
What You'll Be Doing:
As a Care Assistant with us, you'll be at the heart of making a difference every day. Here's how you'll help:
1. Providing Personal Care: Helping with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and grooming, always with kindness and respect.
2. Supporting Mobility & Physical Needs: Assisting service users with mobility needs in a gentle and caring way.

2. A Natural Communicator: You can connect with others easily and make people feel heard and valued.
3. Flexible & Ready to Help: You're happy to work various shifts, including evenings and weekends, and can adjust to service users' needs.
4. Experienced (or not!): Previous care experience is great, but if you're new to the field, don't worry - we'll provide all the training you need!
5. A Driver (if needed): You'll need a valid driver's license (and business insurance) if the role requires traveling between clients.
What We Offer:
We believe in rewarding our team for their hard work and commitment. Here's what you'll enjoy when you join us:
1. Great Pay: £13.45 per hour on weekdays and £14.01 per hour on weekends (including rolled-up holiday pay), paid weekly.
2. Comprehensive Training & Support: We'll provide you with a 5-day induction and ongoing training to help you grow (paid at national minimum wage once you've worked 50 hours).
3. Career Growth: Lots of opportunities to advance in your career within a supportive, family-like environment.
4. A Warm, Friendly Team: Join a team that's more like family, where we support each other every step of the way.
5. Extra Savings: We'll cover the cost of your Enhanced DBS check, Social Care Wales registration, and a Blue Light Card - saving you over £70! (Reimbursement available after you've worked for 4 weeks).
6. Bonus for Referrals: Earn £150 when you refer a friend to work with us (paid after 12 weeks of their employment).
7. Mileage & Travel Pay: We'll pay you for your travel time and mileage (25p per mile) to get between clients.
