Job Summary

Homecare Assistant – Daytime / School Hours

Looking for rewarding work that fits around the school day?

Caring Hands is looking for kind, reliable and compassionate people to join our team of Daytime Homecare Assistants, supporting people to remain safe, comfortable and independent in their own homes in and around the Horsham area.

This could be a great opportunity if you’re returning to work after having children, looking for a change of career, or simply want a role that fits better around family life.

As a Homecare Assistant, you’ll visit clients in their own homes and provide the support they need to continue living independently. This can include companionship, preparing meals, helping with everyday tasks, supporting with personal care and being a friendly and reassuring presence.

What we're looking for

  • A full driving licence and access to your own car is essential, as you will be travelling between clients' homes.
  • Ideally, you will live in or close to Horsham and be familiar with the local area.
  • You must be able to communicate confidently in spoken and written English, as clear communication with clients, families and colleagues, as well as completing care records, is an important part of the role.
  • You should be kind, patient, dependable and genuinely enjoy helping others.
  • Previous care experience is welcome, but not necessarily essential.
  • Please note that we are unable to offer visa sponsorship for this position. Applicants must already have the right to work in the UK.

Why join Caring Hands?

?? Daytime and school-hours opportunities
?? Work within your local community
?? A friendly and supportive team
?? Training and ongoing support
?? Meaningful work where you can make a genuine difference

You may never have considered working in care before, but many of the skills you've developed through everyday life, such as patience, organisation, compassion and understanding, can be incredibly valuable when supporting someone in their own home.

If you're looking for a rewarding role that can fit around the school day, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply today and tell us a little about yourself, where you're based and the daytime hours you're available to work.
