Why this role matters: For many of the people you will visit, you may be the only friendly face they see all day. This role is about making that visit count. That could mean baking a cake together, a walk along the seafront, their favourite music, or simply a proper chat over a cup of tea. - We are looking for people who genuinely want to care, who notice the small things, and who treat every client the way they would want their own mum or dad to be treated. - A typical day starts at 7:00–7:30am, with a longer break in the middle of the day and teatime visits from about 4pm. - No care experience? That's fine. Many of the best carers started out as parents, teachers, retail staff or hospitality workers. - How to apply: Apply through this advert, or email [email protected] with your CV and a few lines on why you want to care. You can also call 0161 554 0435. - We would love to hear what made you want to work in care.
