About the role

You will work with a wide range of people, including children, with varied and different care needs. This might include but not be limited to physical disability, a learning disability, life limiting illness including cancer or other medical conditions, like Dementia or Parkinson’s. Our colleagues enjoy working as a team with people from different cultures and backgrounds.

You will not need to have experience in Care as full training will be provided.

Requirements:

  • Full UK driver’s licence with use of a car and willingness to travel within Surrey
  • Work a minimum of 20 hours per week

Benefits:

  • Mileage paid at 35p per mile
  • Paid training with opportunities for personal development and career progression
  • Wide range of working patterns
  • Free uniform

We are an equal opportunities employer, committed to safeguarding and the welfare of our clients. We expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

Company

As Surrey’s leading charity providing respite breaks for carers, we are proud of the work we do easing the strain on those who care for loved ones 24/7.

In 2019 alone we helped 2,049 unpaid carers by regularly lending a hand with care to 1,264 loved ones so people who care can have a break and recharge both physically and emotionally.

Our main goal is to improve the quality of life of these unpaid carers – that’s anyone who looks after a family member, relative, friend, or neighbour because of a long-term physical or mental ill health or disability.

Not only do they get to enjoy a much-needed break to do the things they love (or do nothing at all!), but they also have peace of mind knowing their loved ones are in the safe, reliable and expert hands of our Carer Support workers. All our work is regulated by the Care Quality Commission.

Together, we can help reach more Carers to make a life of their own outside of their caring role.
