Join our team and make a difference to people’s lives! Caring isn’t just a job, it’s an opportunity to support people in their own homes, offer companionship, promote independence, build relationships, and brighten their day.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:

• No experience necessary: We provide full training, so whether you’re new to care or have years of experience, we’re looking for people who are kind, caring, and committed to improving the lives of vulnerable adults.
• Driving license: You must have a UK driving license and your own car with business insurance.
• Flexibility: You should be comfortable to work a mixture of daytimes, evenings, and alternate weekends.
• Kindness and compassion: A caring and supportive individual who is passionate about providing a high-level care and support to vulnerable people.
• Communication skills: You must be able to build positive working relationships with colleagues and customers.

As a community care assistant, you will care for adults in their own homes to provide practical, physical, emotional, and social support to service users to achieve their desired outcomes. Where required, this includes supporting customers with personal care tasks, such as food and fluids, toileting, and bathing, as well as medication and domestic duties whilst ensuring dignity and respect are maintained at all times.
Ashley Care has led from the front in the care sector since 1987, and in homecare specifically since 2003. We are a family-run company with a strong family ethos. We offer flexible working hours to fit around our staff and their families. Unlike many home care providers, we operate a weekly payroll, so you are renumerated quicker for the work you do. Delivering care throughout the Southend Borough allows us to create small, focused areas of care needs, meaning less travel time and greater efficiency for staff working out in the community. Whether you are new to social care or an experienced professional, we have training programmes to support your ongoing professional development.
