Domiciliary Care Worker — Part-Time
The Care Bureau | Wellingborough, Kettering and Northampton
Looking for part-time work that means something?
Ever had one of those days where a small act of kindness made everything better? That's basically the job description. As a Domiciliary Care Worker with The Care Bureau, you'll help people live independently, safely, and happily in their own homes — and you'll go home every day knowing you've genuinely made a difference to someone's life.
This role is perfect if you're after part-time hours that fit around family life, studies, or another job. No previous care experience needed — just a kind heart and a bit of patience. And if you've cared for a family member, volunteered, or worked in retail, hospitality or similar people-facing roles, those skills count for more than you'd think.
What You'll Be Doing
No two days are the same. You might be:
- Helping someone get washed, dressed and ready to start their day
- Making a cuppa and a bit of breakfast, and staying for a chat
- Popping to the shops or picking up a prescription
- Giving someone a hand with their medication
- Doing a bit of light housework, laundry or bed-making
- Simply being there — company, conversation, and a friendly face
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
It's hands-on, it's varied, and it genuinely matters. You'll be supporting people to stay independent, comfortable and dignified in their own homes.
Hours to Suit You
We know part-time work needs to fit around real life, so:
- Shifts fall between 6:30am and 10:30pm — pick mornings, evenings, weekends, or a mix
- Choose a few hours a week or build up to more — it's flexible around you
- Great as a second job, a return-to-work role, or something to fit around college or other commitments
- No long shifts stuck in one place — visits are short and varied, so a few hours can genuinely fly by
What We're Looking For
- A caring, patient and reliable nature
- Good communication skills
- A full driving licence and access to a vehicle (required, for getting between visits)
- Willingness to learn — full training is provided, so previous care experience isn't essential
- A DBS check will be required (don't worry, we cover the cost — see below!)
If you're kind, dependable and want a job where you can really see the difference you make in just a few hours a week, that's the most important quality we look for.

Why Care Work?
Because it's real. Because you'll build genuine relationships with the people you support. Because every visit, however small it might seem, can be the highlight of someone's day. It's not always easy, but it's rarely boring, and it's one of the few jobs where you can finish a shift knowing exactly what good you've done.
Ready to Apply?
If this sounds like you — whether you're after a few hours a week to fit around your life, starting your very first job in care, or bringing years of experience — we'd love to hear from you.
