Highlights of working at Specialist Care Team

• We pay more – We believe in paying a fair price for an outstanding job from our team members. Our rates start at £13 per hour for our community drivers, and they increase if you take on extra responsibilities. Our rates have recently been updated so we now pay more for evenings after 7pm at £15 per hour and weekends at £13.30 per hour.
• Flexible working – Whether you have regular driving lessons, play badminton on a Thursday night or need to look after a family member, we understand you may have commitments elsewhere and will always aim to have a flexible approach to your availability. For our full time colleagues we also offer a protected regular day off in the week to allow you to plan things.
• Guaranteed contract hours – We don't believe in offering 'zero hour' contracts as standard – all of our team members have a guaranteed number of hours each week, which can range anywhere from 8-40 hours depending on whether you want to work part- or full-time. All our shifts are full and have no rota gaps that you see in other care companies.
• Going the extra mile – If you need to travel between clients mileage is paid at 40p per mile when using your own vehicle.
• Investing in you – You need the best tools to carry out a high level of care, and that's why you'll be fully-trained by our in-house team and members of our community team are given a work mobile phone so you can perform to the best of your ability.
• Other Benefits – Workplace Pension, free uniform, free DBS, no rota gaps as well as early access same day pay.
