Most care jobs feel like you're just getting through the shift. But this one isn't about ticking boxes: it's about genuinely changing someone's life every single day, working with adults who are rebuilding their independence and their confidence. You'll be part of a team that actually knows your name, invests in your future, and makes sure your hard work is properly rewarded

Picture this: you arrive for a shift and one of the people you support has just achieved something they've been working towards for weeks. Maybe they've reconnected with an old friend, or they're managing their health better, or they've simply felt heard and supported in a way that matters. That's the everyday reality here. You're not just delivering care; you're the person who helps adults take real steps towards independent living and genuine well-being

This is a residential service with proper nursing support on site, which means you're never flying solo. The team here knows that recovery-focused, person-centred care takes skill and commitment, and they build the rota to make that possible. You'll work mainly days with some waking nights, giving you the kind of predictability that lets you build real relationships with the people you're supporting

The provider has over 35 years of track record doing this kind of work across the UK. They're not a startup trying to figure it out: they're an established team with the resources to invest properly in your development. Paid learning and development, internal leadership sessions, and recognised qualifications are all part of how they grow their people. You're not just taking a job; you're joining a team that sees your future in this sector

What you will be doing

  • Support individuals on a daily basis with all aspects of their care, building the kind of trust that makes recovery-focused work actually work
  • Actively participate in the activities, hobbies and pursuits that matter to the people you support, bringing genuine enthusiasm and presence rather than just supervision
  • Help maintain and develop community links, getting people out to activities and leisure that support their independence and life skills
  • Work flexibly within a 24/7 service, mainly on day shifts with some waking nights, staying organised and able to multitask while keeping a positive attitude under pressure

Why you will love working here

  • £13.00 per hour for bank hours that fit around your life, with a contributory pension scheme that actually builds your future
  • Paid comprehensive learning and development, including internal leadership competency sessions and recognised qualifications that move your career forward
  • A confidential Employee Assistance Programme available 24/7 because they know care work can be demanding and you deserve proper support
  • Exclusive employee benefits including savings on shopping, leisure and household expenses, plus a generous referral scheme if you know other brilliant people
  • Work as part of an established, purposeful team where you're known, valued, and genuinely making a difference every day

Is this you?

  • Are you someone who can work independently and handle multiple priorities, while keeping the focus on what the people you support actually need?
  • Do you build genuine relationships easily and have the confidence to influence positively with people at all levels, inside and outside the home?
  • Are you a quick learner who's hands-on, willing to be flexible with tasks and activities, and able to stay positive even when things get demanding?
  • Can you commit to working flexibly across the rota, including some waking nights, and are you ready for a genuine 24/7 service environment?
