Job description

 

Care Support Worker | Saffron Walden

💚 Looking for a career where you can genuinely change lives?

No experience needed. Full training provided. Real career progression.

Join our team in the beautiful market town of Saffron Walden and help people live independently, achieve their goals, and enjoy the things that matter most to them.

Whether you're looking for a new challenge, a career change, or your first role in care, we're looking for people with the right values, a positive attitude, and a genuine passion for helping others.

🌟 Why Join Us?

25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
Full training and ongoing support from day one
Excellent career progression and development opportunities
✅ Supportive, welcoming team culture
✅ A role that's rewarding, meaningful, and varied
✅ The opportunity to make a real difference every single day
✅ No previous care experience required

🚀 What You'll Be Doing

Every day is different, but your role will include:

  • Supporting people with everyday activities and personal care where required
  • Encouraging independence, confidence, and choice
  • Supporting people to access appointments, activities, and social events
  • Helping individuals build friendships, hobbies, and life skills
  • Creating positive relationships and meaningful outcomes
  • Working as part of a dedicated and supportive team

👋 Who We're Looking For

You don't need care experience. We're looking for people who are:

  • Kind, caring, and compassionate
  • Positive, enthusiastic, and reliable
  • Great communicators and team players
  • Passionate about helping others thrive
  • Committed to delivering person-centred support

🚗 Driving Licence Required

A full UK driving licence is essential for this role.

Our customers are active members of their community, and you'll regularly support them to attend appointments, activities, and social outings.

Unfortunately, if you do not hold a full UK driving licence, we cannot progress your application.

📋 Important Information

  • This is a 24-hour service, and you'll need to work flexibly across a rota that may include evenings, weekends, bank holidays, and overnight shifts.
  • We are currently unable to offer visa sponsorship. Applicants must already have the right to work in the UK.
