Make 2026 Your Year with Boomerang Healthcare! If you're thinking about a fresh start this year, you're in the right place. Whether you've worked in retail, hospitality, education—or you're simply ready for something more meaningful—we'd love to chat with you. And don't worry if you've never worked in care before. If you're kind and willing to learn, we'll support you every step of the way.

What the Job's All About

You'll be visiting people in their own homes across Hebburn, Jarrow and Gateshead, helping them stay comfortable, independent, and supported. Your day might include:

• Helping with washing, dressing, meals, or medication
• Having a friendly chat and offering emotional support
• Just being a reassuring, caring presence

It's the kind of role where you really do make someone's day—every day.

We won't just throw you in at the deep end. You'll get:

• A full induction and practical training
• Shadow shifts with experienced carers
• Lots of ongoing learning opportunities
• A supportive team you can always rely on

We want you to feel valued, supported, and able to enjoy your work. You'll get:

• Free uniform and PPE
• Flexible shifts that fit around your life
• Paid holiday
• Access to wellbeing and mental health support
• Opportunities to gain qualifications and grow
• Regular check-ins and support from your manager

If you're:

• Kind and caring
• A good communicator
• Willing to learn
• A driver with access to a car (this helps, but it's not a must)

…then you're exactly the type of person we're looking for.

We welcome people from all backgrounds. If you're ready for a job that actually makes a difference, we'd love to welcome you into the team.

Please note:

We aren't currently able to offer new sponsor ships or employer switches.

A Disability Confident employer will generally offer an interview to any applicant that declares they have a disability and meets the minimum criteria for the job as defined by the employer. It is important to note that in certain recruitment situations such as high-volume, seasonal and high-peak times, the employer may wish to limit the overall numbers of interviews offered to both disabled people and non-disabled people.
