On the job
What working in care actually involves
Home care is skilled, human work. A typical day is a sequence of visits — each one a person's own home, preferences, and plan.
Arrive prepared
You know the care plan, the person's preferences, and what good looks like before you knock.
Support with dignity
Personal care, meals, medication prompts where authorised, companionship — always at the person's pace.
Record and escalate
Clear notes, timely handovers, and the confidence to raise concerns without delay.
Travel with purpose
Local rounds where the role requires it — realistic travel and continuity, not endless scatter.
Culture & values
What we recruit for.
Interviews are built around these values — not just a checklist of tasks.
Dignity
Everyone is treated as a person first. Independence is protected, not managed away.
Compassion
Kindness that shows up in practical ways, on ordinary days, not just difficult ones.
Respect
Someone's home is their own. We work to their preferences, at their pace.
Person-centred
Care plans fit the person, not the rota. We listen first and adapt as needs change.

Safer recruitment
The people we support deserve to know who is coming through the door.
We check carefully, and we treat every candidate the same way.
- We verify identity and employment history for everyone we appoint.
- We take up references — and never contact a referee without your permission.
- Each vacancy states the DBS level required for that specific role.
- Right to work is confirmed for everyone — documents are requested later in the process, not on the initial application.
Safeguarding answers on the public form are limited and stored separately. Identity and right-to-work documents are requested later by the recruitment team.
FAQs
Questions candidates actually ask.
Not always. Many care assistant roles welcome career-changers who bring reliability, compassion, and a willingness to train. Each vacancy sets out what is essential.
It depends on the role and the patch. Community rounds often need a licence and vehicle; some packages do not. The vacancy will say clearly.
Contact details, address, availability, experience, short values answers, eligibility and adjustments, and an optional CV. Education history, employment history, references and National Insurance number may be requested later by the recruitment team. Identity documents and right-to-work evidence are also requested later.
The application asks only about unspent convictions, current proceedings, and whether you are barred from regulated activity. Those answers are stored separately. Broader spent-conviction wording from the paper form is not used until legal review is complete. We do not ask medical questions on the public form.
Yes. A record does not automatically bar you. We consider relevance, seriousness, and time passed. Some old and minor matters are filtered by law.
Sponsorship is confirmed per vacancy. The application asks whether you would need sponsorship so we can answer early for that role.
The application takes about 5–10 minutes. After that, timescales depend on the role. Each vacancy shows its closing date where set.
Tell us on the form or call us. Extra time, accessible venues, phone interviews, or questions in advance are all straightforward to arrange.
