The Ashridge difference:
Outstanding care requires outstanding support.

At Ashridge Home Care, we don’t expect you to deliver premium care in isolation. We match your dedication with an experienced, knowledgeable and highly professional office team that listens, respects your expertise and actively supports you every single day.

We're looking for kind and compassionate individuals to join our visiting care team and help support our clients to live in the place they love the most - their own homes and communities.

As a home care assistant, you will:

• Provide personalised care during home visits (minimum 1 hour per call)
• Assist with personal care, medication, meal preparation, companionship, and household tasks
• Support mobility, transport clients to appointments, and run errands

Your skills & our support:

No prior care experience is necessary. If you possess the right kindness, empathy, and values (Trust, Compassion, Respect, and Knowledge), we will provide full, comprehensive training to equip you with all the necessary skills.

Please note, you must be a driver with use of a car as our clients live in rural areas not accessible by public transport.

Why we think you'll love being part of our team:

• Excellent pay: earn £15.10 (weekdays) and £17.20 (weekends), with double pay on bank holidays
• Rewarding bonuses: up to £300 for every friend you refer!
• We’re invested in your growth: comprehensive induction, care certificate, and ongoing support for level 2 & 3 diplomas in health and social care
• Benefits package including paid holidays, travel expenses of 45p per mile, NEST pension scheme, client referral scheme, Blue Light Card
• Dedicated support: your own care manager and a friendly office team always ready to help
• Prioritising your well-being: an Employee Assistance Programme with wellbeing support
• Award-winning culture: join a team rated 5 stars for culture and management (Indeed) and recognised for live-in care expertise (Home Care Awards)
• Our carers consistently tell us they feel welcomed, supported, and valued, appreciating our knowledgeable and flexible approach

Essential requirements

• Driver with own car:
  This is essential as clients live in rural areas not accessible by public transport
• Availability:
  You must be able to commit to regular days and times. We have morning, evening and weekend roles currently available
