About Routes Healthcare
We’re a leading homecare provider—a care company, not an agency. Our mission: exceptional, personalised care for individuals in their homes, tailored to their unique needs.
The Role
This is a homecare position with driving responsibilities. Your day-to-day focuses on:
- Providing person-centred support for vulnerable and palliative clients at home.
- personal care, medication assistance, and nutrition advice.
- Travelling between client visits per shift.
- Collaborating solo or with a 2-person team (based on client needs).
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.
Why This Role Stands Out
We specialise in complex long-term care, clinically-led enhanced homecare, and end-of-life support. Our goal: help people remain in their own homes—dignified, supported, and empowered.
Shift Flexibility
- Available: Full-time & part-time (flexible hours to suit YOU)
- Weekend Availability: Mandatory
- Commitment: Shifts allocated based on your preferences + business demand—once booked, reliable attendance is required.
About Your Candidateship
(Important Notes:)
- Right to Work in the UK: Employer support not permitted.
- Gender Requirement: This role is open only to female applicants for genuine, client-needs-related reasons (per Equality Act 2010).
