We truly value our dedicated team of carers, and we recognise that it takes exceptional people to do such a demanding yet rewarding job.
We are always keen to hear from people who are interested in joining our care team.
First and foremost, our care professionals are compassionate, caring, and thoughtful people who share our values and outlook on life.
“I found that once the children had left home I had a lot of time on my hands. I wanted to do something to help people who really required it. I love being a carer, I currently look after two ladies who are both lovely and we have a great laugh”
There are many advantages to home care jobs. Not only do you get to care for some lovely people, but we pay an attractive salary, and with your accommodation and food paid for the majority of the year, you will have more of your pay left over to spend on other things.
WHAT WE OFFER
We value our carers and reward their hard work
We want to attract the very best carers therefore it’s important to us that our package is one of the best in the industry.
Working for Ashridge Home Care means that you will join a caring and close-knit team. You will also receive:
- One of the best rates of pay across the industry (£805 – £1015 per week for live-in care and £14.50 – £16.50 per hour for visiting care) plus double pay on bank holidays and travel expenses
- A monthly satisfaction bonus based on client feedback
- Pay that increases the longer you stay with us
- Holiday pay to ensure you are able to take a break
- Comprehensive and ongoing training within a nurturing community
- Ongoing support whenever you need it, on the phone or in person
- Accommodation options if you need assistance during your time away from the role
Of course, the role will involve living away from your own home. This works well for many of our care professionals – some alternate live in care with short stays with family or friends, while others combine their work with travel.
You don’t need to have professional qualifications to join our team. We provide an extensive induction to teach you the necessary skills. We also believe in continuous learning; therefore, we provide ongoing training to complement the regular visits and ongoing communication. We want you to feel fully supported and comfortable in your role.
WHAT YOU CAN BRING
Being a carer takes a remarkable kind of person
There are many attributes and skills that we look for in our carers. You will need to:
- Have a positive outlook on life
- Be caring, kind, compassionate, and empathetic
- Enjoy striking up conversation with people (which will require a very good standard of English)
- Be experienced in making good home-cooked food
While many of our carers do have driving licences and own their own car, this is not essential, as we can make alternative travel arrangements so you and your client can get out and about.
If you think you’ve got what it takes to brighten up someone’s day, we’d love to hear from you.
