About our Home Care service

Our Home Care service - which is rated 'Good' by the Care Quality Commission - was established in 1994 to promote independent living.

The service enables older people and vulnerable adults in and around Worthing to lead better quality lives whilst remaining safe and comfortable in their own homes.

About the role

We are seeking compassionate and professional Weekend Community Care Assistants to work on a part-time basis as part of our home care team. This part-time role offers flexible working options between the hours of 7.30am – 2pm and then 4pm-10pm around family life, studying and other commitments. You will assist our clients in the community with personal care, domestic help, emotional support, and other general tasks such as shopping, medication, and mobility.
