This is a crucial part of domiciliary care and one that families rely on. You will be supported by clear care plans and a management team available 24/7 if you ever have questions.

Light Housekeeping and Meals

From preparing nutritious meals to keeping living spaces clean and safe, you will help maintain a comfortable home environment. Whether it is making a favourite recipe, doing the hoovering, or changing bed linen, these everyday tasks make a huge difference to someone’s quality of life.

You will also help with shopping, either accompanying clients to local Cheltenham shops or picking up essentials on their behalf.

Pay, Benefits and Perks

We believe carers deserve proper recognition. That is why we are a Real Living Wage Employer — not just meeting the government minimum, but paying what people actually need to live on.

Your Pay And Benefits Package Includes

• Real Living Wage — guaranteed, not the bare minimum
• Mileage reimbursement for every mile driven
• 28 days paid holiday (pro rata, including bank holidays)
• Workplace pension scheme
• Statutory sick pay from day one
• DBS check fully funded — no cost to you
• Blue Light Card eligibility — thousands of discounts at major retailers
• Refer a Friend bonus — earn extra for recommending great people

Flexible hours that work for you. We offer mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. Whether you want full-time hours or need to fit work around school runs, studies, or other commitments, we will work with you to find the right schedule.

Training and Career Development

You do not need any qualifications or previous care experience to join us. We provide everything you need to start and grow your career in care.

Your Training Journey Includes

• Comprehensive induction programme — your first two weeks are fully paid classroom and shadow training
• The Care Certificate — 15 standards covering everything from safeguarding to communication, completed in your first 12 weeks
• Dementia Friends training — delivered in partnership with the Alzheimer’s Society
• Moving and handling certification
• Medication safety training

All training is delivered through our Flourish learning platform and in-person sessions right here in Cheltenham. You are paid for every hour of training — it is never unpaid or done in your own time.

Career progression is real here. Many of our senior carers and team leaders started as care assistants with no previous experience. We promote from within and invest in people who want to grow.
