Additional Information

Care Assistant - Inverclyde and surrounding areas Pay: £13.50 per hour | Double time on bank holidays | Mileage 33p to 45p/mile | Part-time, flexible hours | Driving licence and own vehicle required Why care with us, not just any agency Most home care visits elsewhere are 15-30 minutes - rushed, task-only, in and out. Every visit with us is a minimum of 1 hour , so you actually have time to make a difference, not just tick a box. We match you to clients based on shared interests and hobbies, so you're building real relationships in your own local community, not seeing a different stranger every day. If you've got a kind heart and reliable transport, we'll teach you everything else.
