Care Assistant

The closing date is 11 December 2026

Package Description: Could you be the reason someone smiles?
Join us as a Home Care Assistant at Dora Matthews and make a real difference while building a rewarding career in care.

There is something truly special about helping others live with dignity and joy, especially in their own home. Whether it is sharing a cup of tea and a good chat, helping with daily routines and personal care, or being that friendly face that brightens a client morning, you are giving more than care you are giving connection.

And the best part? You get just as much back. The gratitude, the stories, the smiles that stay with you.

What we offer

• Outstanding career development with fully funded professional training and qualifications (up to QCF level 5).
• Flexible contracts to work around you
• £12.75 an hour
• Blue Light care discount package
• Company pension scheme
• On demand pay

The Role of a Home Carer:

• Supporting people with their daily routines, including household tasks and personal care
• Helping with shopping, preparing nutritious meals, and making a comforting cup of tea
• Providing companionship, a listening ear, and friendly conversation
• Helping with medication

About you: Above all, we are looking for someone kind, compassionate, and genuinely passionate about helping others. You do not need previous care experience or qualifications; if you have the right attitude and a caring nature, we can teach you the rest.

You will bring:

• A warm, caring, and compassionate approach to supporting others
• Strong people skills and the ability to build meaningful relationships
• A supportive, professional, and team-focused mindset
• A minimum of 12 months remaining on your right to work in the UK (please note we are currently unable to offer sponsorship)
• A full UK driving licence
• Flexibility to work alternating weekends

If you have got a kind heart, a listening ear, and a desire to make a client world a little brighter while learning new, valuable skills and continuing your development, we would love you to join our team.
