Why carers stay with us

Manual handling, first aid, infection control, dementia awareness — refreshed every year, paid for by us.

Flexible hours

Full-time, part-time, mornings, evenings or weekends. Tell us what works and we'll build a rota around it.

A team behind you

24/7 on-call support, a manager who answers the phone, and colleagues who share what they know.

Work near home

Your visits are clustered around your area — Hackney, Barking, Ilford, selected parts of Essex and, from October 2026, the BCP area. Less travelling, more caring.

Room to grow

NVQ support, specialisms in dementia and complex care, and progression to senior carer roles.

Questions carers ask us

Do I need experience to become a carer?

No — we hire for heart and train for skill. Healthcare assistant roles are open to people new to care; you'll complete paid induction training (manual handling, first aid, infection control and more) and shadow an experienced carer before working alone.

What is a DBS check and do I need one?

An enhanced DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check is a criminal record check required for all care roles in England. We arrange it as part of your onboarding. A conviction is not an automatic bar — each case is considered individually.

What documents do I need to apply?

Passport, proof of your National Insurance number, a passport photo, two proofs of address from the last 3 months, details of two references, and a driving licence and right-to-work documents if applicable. You upload them all during the online application.

Can I choose my hours?

Yes — full-time, part-time, mornings, evenings or weekends. Tell us your availability in the application and we build a rota around it.

Where will I work?

Wherever suits you — we support clients in every London borough and in selected parts of Essex, and we cluster your visits near where you live so less of your day is spent travelling. We are also recruiting ahead of our planned Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole launch in October 2026.

How long does the application take?

About 20 minutes online, and your progress saves automatically so you can pause and come back. We aim to call every applicant within two working days.

Ready when you are.

The application takes about 20 minutes and saves as you go. Have your documents nearby and you can finish it in one sitting.
