About this role

We are hiring care assistants to cover Somercotes and the surrounding area. You will visit people in their own homes across Somercotes, Leabrooks, Birchwood and Riddings, helping with personal care, medication, meals and companionship.

This role is part of our Ripley branch, from the team behind CQC Outstanding rated care in Mansfield. We keep rounds local so your travel is minimal, and you work with the same people each week.

You do not need care experience. We will train you from scratch. If you are the kind of person who genuinely cares about other people, we want to hear from you.

  • £15/hr (£14.50 during your six-month probation)
  • 40p per mile for every mile you drive
  • Paid training from your first day
  • DBS refunded after probation
  • £250 refer-a-friend bonus
  • Blue Light Card for discounts
  • 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme
  • Extra day of holiday for each year you stay (up to 5 extra days)
  • Real career progression: Care Assistant to Senior to Team Leader to Diploma Level 3

What we're looking for

  • A driving licence and your own car
  • The right to work in the UK
  • A genuine interest in helping people

You do not need care experience. Some of our best carers came from completely different careers. If you are kind, reliable and up for learning something new, we want to hear from you.
