Your Role
2 million people in England over the age of 75 live alone, with 500,000 going at least 5 or 6 days a week without seeing or speaking to anyone at all. If you are someone who cares and is willing to do something about it, this role is perfect for you!
As a Care Pro, you will be visiting older people in your local area in their own homes for an hour at a time first and foremost to offer them reliable and consistent companionship, and help them remain independent in their own home for longer, safely and less lonely.
You would receive full training, shadowing, support, and mentorship from a great team of experienced people through your whole journey with us, therefore experience is not necessary for this role, but a naturally social personality, willingness to learn, flexible attitude and genuine care and compassion towards older people.
Driving license and a car is not essential, but certain degree of travel will be necessary to carry out the visits (paid mileage + travel time).
Our wonderful Care Pros help maintain our clients' daily routines by having a conversation over a cup of tea, helping around the house, preparing meals, initiating and facilitating walks, and anything else that can help improve the quality of their life.
Whether you are already a carer who is tired of 15 minutes visits and no time to chat with your client, or retired from a whole different career and would like to give something back to the community, or a parent who would like to work around your existing commitments, if you feel passionately about being a part of a care organisation, get in touch today.

- Proactive and flexible attitude
- Personable, empathetic and reliable personality
- Ability to do evening and weekend work DESIRABLE
- Drivers preferred with access to own vehicle.
