Home Care Worker

Contract Type Full-time Part-time Permanent

Are you a compassionate, reliable individual with a passion for supporting people in their own homes? Fuchsia Homecare Norwich is looking for
self-employed care professionals
to join our trusted team of home care providers.

Whether you’re an experienced care worker, a retired nurse, or someone with lived experience of disability or caring for loved ones, we welcome you to work with us on a
flexible, freelance basis
.

• Flexible hours: Set your availability – work as much or as little as you wish
• Excellent rates: £12.50–£13.00 per hour, depending on time and day
• Consistent opportunities in Norwich and surrounding areas
• Supportive, respectful environment – we treat our contractors like part of the team

As a self-employed care contractor, you’ll provide essential, person-centred support to adults in their own homes. Tasks may include:

• Personal care (washing, dressing, toileting)
• Meal preparation and hydration support
• Prompting or administering medication (training can be arranged)
• Companionship and social support
• Light domestic tasks

You’ll visit customers on
pre-scheduled routes
, often providing 30–60 minute visits. Travel time is kept under 15 minutes between calls where possible. Evening, weekend, and occasional overnight visits are available depending on your preference.

We’d love to hear from you if you:

• Have experience in care or a related field (formal qualifications not essential)
• Are compassionate, reliable, and respectful of others’ independence
• Are registered self-employed (or willing to register – we can advise)
• Hold a valid UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle
• Have the right to work in the UK

We provide a full induction and training programme free of charge to help you feel confident before starting your visits. This includes moving and handling, medication, safeguarding, and customer-specific care needs.

We particularly welcome applications from care professionals with disabilities or long-term health conditions, as well as semi-retired carers looking for part-time work.

• All self-employed contractors must hold or be willing to obtain
  public liability insurance (we can recommend providers).
• An
  enhanced DBS check will be required – we can help arrange this if you don’t already hold one.
• Contractors are responsible for their own tax and national insurance. If you’re unsure how to register, we’re happy to signpost you to support.

Let’s work together to provide high‑quality, dignified care that makes a difference in people’s lives.
