About the Role
Lunchtime to teatime
Lunch, afternoon medication, a cup of tea and a proper chat – this round is about supporting people through the middle of their day, following the routines that matter to them.
Shifts usually run from 12pm to 5pm, covering lunchtime and the afternoon. Alongside personal care and meals, afternoon visits often include social visits, keeping people company and helping them stay connected to their community.
Daily routines are personal, and people feel more settled when it's a familiar face at the door, so we're looking for team members who can commit to regular daytime shifts. With your mornings and evenings your own, it can fit well around family life, another role or a course.
What You'd Be Doing
You’ll visit people in their own homes across Chorley, providing support that’s individual to them, their routines and what matters most in their lives. This could include washing and dressing, toileting and continence care, medication, preparing meals and helping around the home.
It’s also about promoting independence, offering choice and building trusted relationships – becoming a familiar face and making a positive difference to someone’s day.
Personal care is a real part of many visits and can feel daunting at first. You’ll receive full training and shadowing until you feel confident.
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.

- Up to £26.20 an hour on bank holidays
- Paid travel time between every visit
- 45p per mile between visits
The Rest of It
- Guaranteed hours contracts from 10 to 20 hours a week, or zero hours if you'd rather stay flexible
- Alternate weekends – both days every other week, or every Saturday, or every Sunday, whichever suits you best
- Fully funded qualifications in care
- Additional annual leave for length of service (T&Cs apply)

No Experience? Not a Problem
Some of our team came into care from something else entirely – retail, hospitality, warehouse work or raising a family. You’ll get a full induction, ongoing training and shadow experienced team members until you feel ready.
What we can’t teach is kindness, reliability and genuinely caring about the people you support - turning up day after day and treating every person with the dignity and respect they deserve.
