Care Assistants Wanted – Make a Real Difference Every Single Shift

Locations:
Norwich, Swaffham & Dereham, Norfolk

Some jobs are just shifts. This isn’t one of them.

We’re looking for experienced Health Care Assistants who bring skill, kindness, and a proper dose of heart to the people who need it most to join our care teams. Our care homes are full of incredible residents — and they deserve equally incredible carers.

- Full training provided including hands on face to face

- Current hourly rate £14.70 - £18.11 including holiday pay.

- join an award winning agency that cares for the staff and clients' alike

- work hours that suit you.

If you’re the kind of person who notices the small things, leads with compassion, and believes dignity is non-negotiable… keep reading.

What Makes You Right for This Role

You’re not just qualified — you’re the kind of person families feel relieved to see walk through the door.

You must have:

- Minimum 6 months’ UK care experience
- Right to Work in the UK
- An honest, open, and dependable nature
- A kind, caring, and patient approach
- A naturally cheerful, positive attitude
- Good spoken and written communication skills
- A genuine desire to make a difference to every resident
- Commitment to delivering dignified, person-centred care
- Understanding of Health & Safety in care settings

Helpful (but not essential):

- Being a driver (some homes are easier to reach by car)
- Comfortable using electronic devices for care plans

You’ll also need (we can help with this):

- Enhanced Adult & Child DBS
- References and employment history checks in line with safer recruitment guidelines

Please do not apply if you require sponsorship — this role does not offer it.

What You’ll Be Doing

No two days are the same — because no two residents are the same.

You’ll be supporting people living with a range of age-related, physical, and mental health conditions, including dementia. You’ll work alongside permanent staff to provide safe, respectful, person-centred care.

Your role may include:

- Assisting with personal care
- Helping with dressing
- Supporting nutrition and hydration
- Medication prompting (where required)
- Providing 1:1 care, including dementia support
- Keeping the home clean, safe, and comfortable
- Ensuring every resident feels valued, respected, and heard

You’re not just helping people live — you’re helping them live well.

Why This Role Matters

It takes exceptional people to work in exceptional care homes.
So the real question is:

Are you an exceptional Care Assistant?
