Are you looking for a role that will make a difference to your community? Do you want to go home feeling like you have done something rewarding every day? Then join the HICA Group today!

We are expanding our home care support team in the Doncaster & surrounding areas including Hatfield and Thorne and are looking for caring, reliable and hard working individuals to promote independence, whilst actively encouraging and supporting with making informed decisions.

Due to the range of locations, it is essential you hold a UK driving licence & have access to your own vehicle.

We are recruiting for caring individuals to cover our evening calls where the hours working are between 7am – 2pm & 3pm – 10pm. The evening call will include limited personal care as you will be helping our clients settle for the evening.

The company is unable to sponsor the employment of international workers in this role. You will be required to provide evidence of your right to work in the UK.

Pay & Hours:

• £12.11 per hour.
• Receive 24p for every mile you drive between calls as a fuel allowance.

• Get a guaranteed 16-hour contract but work up to 40 hours if you want. Pick your limits to suit your personal commitments.

• Block pay contracts are available, so you are paid from your first to last call regardless of any gaps. For example, working 7am to 2pm is a full 7 hours pay.

The Role:

As a Home Care Assistant you would deliver high quality care, visiting service users in their own homes. You would be responsible for ensuring they remain independent for as long as possible.

No two care plans are the same, each Service User is an individual and care plans written according to their needs. If you are looking for a rewarding carer, have a passion to make a difference to Service User’s lives and a desire to be part of a committed organisation and workforce, this is the role for you!
