I'm working with a well-established home care provider in Essex, rated Good by CQC, and they need carers now, particularly in Chelmsford, Bishop's Stortford and Saffron Walden. Maldon and Great Dunmow are also available.
Please note we cannot offer sponsorship or sponsorship/visa switch.
The key details:
You're employed and paid directly by the provider. No umbrella company, no deductions, just clean pay into your account every four weeks. And unlike most care roles, they pay you door to door: £11.45 an hour travel time, seven days a week, plus 40p a mile. That's rare in this sector and it makes a real difference to your take home.
What you'd earn per shift:
Personal care, companionship, a hand with domestic bits, and helping people keep their independence. Proper, rewarding care work.
A few practical points:
