What You’ll Be Doing
No two days are the same here. You will:
- Hit the Road: Take clients on exciting day trips, shopping sprees, and coastal drives.
- Create a Home: Whether it’s a spot of gardening, getting creative with interior decorating, or enjoying karaoke, you’ll help keep the service feeling like a true home.

- You’re Ready to Drive: A UK Driving License is desirable so you can get behind the wheel of the client vehicles and start the next journey!
Main duties of the job
- Person Centred - Prepare person-centred support plans with clients which reflect their views and aspirations and respect their beliefs and opinions, reviewing and amending them as necessary and considering the client’s changing needs and wishes.
- Respectful - Support clients to fulfil their aspirations, supporting them to live as independently as possible, in accordance with their skills and abilities. This may include accompanying them on social visits and events, supporting them with their interests and hobbies, promoting choice, arranging activities and outings, and developing their skills and knowledge.
- Open - Communicate in an open and transparent way with clients and other team members, acting with integrity and doing what you say that you will do.
- Understanding - Where required you may be asked to provide personal care to clients in a way that respects their choices and dignity. This can include assistance with washing and toileting.
- Dedicated - Keep appropriate, accurate records, including daily notes, with full involvement of the client.

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.
