If so, Herts at Home would love to hear from you.

We’re seeking caring, responsible, empathetic, understanding and proactive individuals with a great sense of humour to deliver high quality care to vulnerable adults with a variety of needs.

Here’s why you should work for us:

  • We pay you £12.43 per hour – (£13.43 for Bank Holidays) from the beginning of your shift to the end.
  • We will pay for your DBS.
  • Free uniform
  • We offer flexible working, but it would be great if you could work some evenings and weekends.
  • Career progression. We are committed to developing our staff and offer comprehensive paid training and regular ongoing support throughout your career.
  • We are part of the Herts Rewards programme – giving you great shopping discounts and local offers (e.g. Asda, Sainsburys, New Look, M&S).
  • You will work with a friendly, supportive team who share a passion for the delivery of high standard person-centred care.

A little bit about the Role and Responsibilities:

  • Providing support to older people as outlined in their care plans.
  • Moving and handling and using other techniques to provide more specialist support.
  • Helping people to express their wishes/preferences/like and dislikes.
  • Offering emotional support and encouragement.
  • Adhering to risk assessments and supporting people with behaviours that challenge.
  • Medication administration.

Am I the Right Person for the Job?

You are if you:

  • Have a passion for delivering high quality care to a wide variety of older people.
  • Are able to work flexibly to meet the needs of the people we support.
  • Are comfortable in assisting individuals with their personal care where this is required.

Experience as a care worker would be an advantage but is not essential as full training is provided. Therefore, we actively encourage applications from candidates with no previous experience.

Roles will encompass morning and evening shifts, weekday and weekend working. Some also include a sleep over shift. If you are unsure what this means, please call us - we will be happy to discuss it with you.

Successful candidates will be subject to an enhanced DBS check before commencement of employment.
