  • Mileage Reimbursement: We pay 45p per mile after the first 10 miles each day.
  • Comprehensive Training & Support:
    • Classroom-based training and online courses.
    • Shadow visits with experienced Care Professionals to build confidence and skills.
    • Full support from our friendly and professional team.
  • Guaranteed Contracts: Flexible work patterns are available: choose to work 2, 3, or 4 set days a week, plus every other weekend.
  • Competitive Pay: £13.25 per hour. For example, working 30 hours a week could earn you £1,729 a month (plus mileage).
