About us

At [Employer hidden — view at passion-project.co.uk], we provide high-quality, person-centred care to people in the comfort of their own homes. Every individual we support has unique needs – we tailor every care package to them, building a compassionate and skilled team around their requirements.

We live and work by the 6 Cs: Care, Compassion, Competence, Communication, Courage, and Commitment – and we’re looking for people who share those values.

Meet Our Client

A kind and caring young lady with a genuine love for her cherished pets is looking for compassionate support.

She enjoys unwinding with her favourite TV shows and has a real passion for baking, cooking, and gardening.

Her life is shared with much-loved animals, including dogs and cats, and she has a particularly special bond with her horses, which she enjoys visiting regularly.

Using a powered wheelchair independently, she enjoys getting out and about, spending quality time with friends and family, and making the most of good weather with her dogs. Friendly and sociable, she values good conversation, laughter, and meaningful companionship.

In this rewarding role, you will provide person-centred care tailored to her individual needs, carry out clinical interventions with skill and attention, and support her overall health and wellbeing.

You will also offer encouragement and companionship, enabling her to continue enjoying much-loved activities and helping to create a positive, nurturing environment where she can truly thrive.

Please Note: Due to the nature of our vacancies, our clients have the right to request either female or male staff.

Our client has specifically requested for female staff to work on her team.

“This isn't just a job it’s your opportunity to make a real difference in someone’s life.”

  • 3 months’ care experience
  • Confident with medication, personal care, moving and handling
  • Comfortable in a pet-friendly environment
  • Clear communication skills
  • Full UK Driving Licence

What We Offer

  • Competitive hourly pay with enhancements for weekends and bank holidays
  • Regular confirmed rotas and flexible scheduling
  • Reward & recognition programme
  • Supportive management and 24/7 on-call support
  • Opportunity to grow within a values-led, national care provider

Our funded training, including clinical skills, comes at no cost to you, though attendance is unpaid.
