Apply today and we’ll arrange a friendly, confidential chat at a time that suits you.

Application question(s):

  • Are you able to work alternate weekends?
  • Do you need sponsorship to work in the UK? Unfortunately we do not offer this
  • Are you happy and able to travel between clients within the community as part of this role?
  • What is your current postcode?
  • Can you confirm that you are happy that this is a 0 hours contract, which can lead to an average-hours contract after a successful probationary period?
  • Are you able to work at least 10 hours, including a minimum of two days per week that include anti-social hours, meaning starting at 6:45am or finishing at 10:00pm?
  • Do you have access to a vehicle for work use? (This is absolutely essential, please do not apply if you don't)

Licence/Certification:

  • UK Driving Licence (required)

Pay & Hours

  • £13.35 & £14.25 (before 8am, after 6pm and weekends)
  • Travel time paid at £12.75
  • 28p per mile after the first 10 miles
  • Client mileage paid at 40p per mile

Shift patterns:

  • We offer very flexible scheduling rather than fixed set shifts. However, the following requirements apply:
  • All Care Professionals must work a minimum of two days per week that include anti-social hours, meaning starting at 6:45am or finishing at 10:00pm.

We do not operate on strict shift blocks (e.g. 7am–3pm or 3pm–10pm). Instead, we build schedules around each Care Professional’s availability while ensuring service needs are met and the above requirements are fulfilled.

  • Care Professionals must work alternate weekends.
  • We have very flexible weekly working hours, but candidates must provide a minimum availability of 10 hours per week, while still meeting our required conditions (minimum two days including anti-social hours and alternate weekends).
  • The role initially operates on a 0-hour contract during the probationary period. After successfully completing probation, we are able to offer an average-hours contract based on the hours you have consistently worked.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
