Job Summary

Date posted: 4 March 2025

Based in Dover, Inchwater Home Care is a family run independent provider of private care. With an expanding client need for our bespoke care packages, we are looking for a certain kind of person to join our well established team of Caregivers.

Everyone has care experience, from changing a nappy or helping ageing parents, to buying the shopping for your neighbour who is still a little worried about Covid.

We don't need you to have previous professional care experience as we offer comprehensive training built from our own mix of experience in the Health and Social Care sector.

If you are experienced and interested in joining Inchwater - then we offer you the real opportunity to slow down, continuity of care with your own specific clients, and travelling and wait time as well as a very competitive mileage allowance. All this is to enable the best possible care for our clients.

We only ask a couple of things -

  • You need to own your own transport.
  • You want to work in a team that focusses on wellbeing.

We are currently looking for part time staff to work across Deal and surrounding areas for our inspiring clients.

Should you be successful, you will be matched to clients that click with you and your availability.

Within this role, you will be visiting our clients in their homes and offering companionship, personal care and anything else they need to live a happy and independent life.

More often than not we are approached by family members in need of some extra help with their relative, so we are looking for you to care for our clients as you would care for your own family or friends.

No previous experience is required as full training is provided, all we ask is that you have a passion to care for others!

Daily activities to include personal care, medication, domestic task, shopping, offering choices, social inclusion and social support.

> We will pay for your DBS when you start and throughout your career with us
> We will provide you with full training to get you up and running.
> You will immediately start to accrue holiday (28 days pro rata)
> Very competitive pay rates from £13.00 per hour* to £26.00 per hour
> Enhanced rates for unsocial hours and weekend working (£14.50 /hr)
> Paid travel time between calls
> We’ll pay for your ongoing training, with nationally recognised courses
> Fully funded, nationally recognised training (NVQ’s 2, 3, 4 and 5 offered)
> We will encourage and support you to take your career further
