Job description

Guaranteed hours available in a job that's full of rewards every day, with full- and part-time shift patterns to suit different commitments.

Guardian Homecare is part of City & County Healthcare Group, the largest home care provider in the UK with a commitment to putting our People First. Our ideal candidate will also be energetic, positive and a good listener with access to a vehicle due to the geographical location of the role.

We have roles available in our new Short Term Care at Home service, which we have just been awarded across Preston, Chorley and South Ribble and is due to start in April. Anyone joining before then will join our current Crisis and Reablement teams, transitioning to Short Term Care at Home from April. This is an exciting opportunity to support vulnerable adults living in their own homes in the community, ensuring that they can stay at home during times of poor health or other emergencies, and to support them, where appropriate, to build their skills and levels of independence back up through the achievement of smart and measurable goals. This is a valuable service, making a real difference to our local communities while supporting local health services to maintain capacity by reducing the need for people to stay in hospital if they can be supported safely and effectively at home through your caring and nurturing approach. Learn on the job and stay invigorated by working in a job where every day is completely different and fulfilling.
