Make a difference by providing compassionate care in your community

Not all care is needed 24 hours a day. Sometimes people just need a little help now and then, or someone to call in and check how things are going.

Our healthcare assistants are skilled carers who visit people in their own homes and provide personalised care as and when they need it. This can be an ongoing arrangement or for a set period of time, either way, our Healthcare Assistants work hard to give our clients and their families the support they need.

We’re currently recruiting for healthcare assistants for our Saxmundham, Suffolk & Essex and Jersey branches.
