Care Assistant - Leicester, Wigston, Oadby, Market Harborough

Providing Quality Care

We care for the elderly and vulnerable in the comfort of their own homes as an alternative to a care home. You will travel between customer visits, so it is essential that you have a Full Driving License and access to your own reliable car/vehicle.

Care is not just about making a cup of tea for someone, its making them a cup of tea the way they like it. It's not just completing a task, it's engaging an individual in that task where possible and promoting independence and ensuring we put our customer at the heart of everything we do.

Care is respecting someone's choices and providing them with comfort and reassurance in their own home. Our customers all have different care needs and backgrounds. We are looking for Care Assistants who are understanding, hardworking and ready to make a difference in someone's life.

We’re committed to keeping people in the comfort of their own home, so we help with anything from everyday tasks around our customers’ homes through to complex care needs. We appreciate that every customer is different, and this is why every day will be different.

We were awarded Good by CQC/Care Inspectorate and for that reason, we pride ourselves on selecting the very best Care Assistants. If you are passionate about providing the very best care, then this role could be the role for you.
