We’re looking for compassionate, empathetic individuals who are ready to step into a career that is as rewarding as it is impactful. As a Care Assistant, you’ll not only be helping people with daily tasks, but you’ll be changing lives by offering comfort, support, and companionship.

• Competitive Pay: Earn £13.45 per hour on weekdays and £14.01 per hour on weekends (including rolled-up holiday pay), paid weekly.
• Mileage & Travel Pay: We cover your travel costs (25p per mile) and compensate for waiting time, so you’re rewarded for every part of your workday.
• Referral Bonus: Share the opportunity with a friend, and you’ll both earn £150 when they join our team (paid after 12 weeks of employment).
• Paid Full Visits: We believe in valuing your time. You’re paid for the entire duration of each visit, not by the minute.
• Free PPE & Uniforms: We provide all the gear you need to stay safe and comfortable while giving the best care possible.
• Comprehensive Training: No prior experience? No problem! You’ll receive full training, including a 5-day paid induction programme to help you feel confident and prepared for your role.

What You’ll Do as a Full-Time Care Assistant:

As a Care Assistant, you’ll be at the heart of each client’s daily life, providing support, comfort, and encouragement. You’ll be trusted with some of life’s most intimate and meaningful tasks, such as:

• Personal Care: Helping clients with essential daily routines like bathing, dressing, and grooming, ensuring they feel dignified and cared for.
• Medication Support: Assisting with medication reminders and ensuring clients stay on track with their health needs.
• Meal Preparation: Preparing healthy, delicious meals to nourish both body and spirit.
• Light Domestic Support: Helping with household tasks like cleaning, laundry, and organizing, making sure your clients’ homes remain safe and comfortable.
• Companionship & Emotional Support: Offering a friendly ear, laughter, and a sense of belonging to clients who may feel lonely or isolated. Your positive presence will brighten their day.

You’ll be traveling between clients, so a Full UK/International Driving License, your own car, and business car insurance are required.

Why You’ll Love Working with Us:

• Making a Real Impact: Your work will change lives. You’ll have the privilege of supporting people who need it most, helping them lead independent and fulfilling lives.
• A Career with Heart: At New Directions, we care about our team just as much as we care about the people we support. You’ll feel valued, respected, and part of a community that believes in kindness and compassion.
• Opportunities to Grow: We invest in you! We offer continuous training, career progression opportunities, and support to help you develop your skills and advance in your career.
• A Family-Oriented Culture: Our managers are approachable, and you’ll always have support from a team that feels more like a family. We’re in this together, and we always look out for each other.
