Job description

We’re looking for kind, reliable Care Assistants to support older adults across Folkestone and Hythe, Kent.

You’ll be required to work Evenings 16:00-22:00 and alternate Weekends.

Care as it should be — unhurried, personal, rewarding!.

  • Supporting with mobility and helping clients move around their home safely
  • Preparing meals, snacks and hot drinks
  • Helping with light household tasks to keep their home safe and comfortable
  • Offering companionship, conversation and a friendly face
  • Supporting with medication reminders and other health-related tasks where appropriate

No Experience? No Problem!

We’re looking for people with the right values and attitude. For example:

  • Have you cared for a loved one or supported a family member?
  • Are you someone who can chat easily and make others feel at ease?
  • Do you enjoy helping people and making a difference in someone’s day?

If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.

Why you’ll love working with us:

  • £14.25–£15.70/hr + 35p per mile

  • Fully paid training & Care Certificate

  • Birthday and appreciation gifts

  • Pension & wellbeing support

  • Staff discounts and annual team events

  • Real career progression — we’ll help you grow

  • Right to work in the UK
  • Full driving licence and access to a car

  • A warm, patient and caring nature 

And we will help and support you with the rest!
