Care Assistant (Part Time)

Ever had one of those days where a small act of kindness made everything better? That's basically the job description. As a Domiciliary Care Worker with The Care Bureau, you'll help people live independently, safely, and happily in their own homes — and you'll go home every day knowing you've genuinely made a difference to someone's life.

This role is perfect if you're after part-time hours that fit around family life, studies, or another job. No previous care experience needed — just a kind heart and a bit of patience. And if you've cared for a family member, volunteered, or worked in retail, hospitality or similar people-facing roles, those skills count for more than you'd think.

No two days are the same. You might be:

Helping someone get washed, dressed and ready to start their day

Making a cuppa and a bit of breakfast, and staying for a chat

Popping to the shops or picking up a prescription

Giving someone a hand with their medication

Doing a bit of light housework, laundry or bed-making

Simply being there — company, conversation, and a friendly face

It's hands-on, it's varied, and it genuinely matters. You'll be supporting people to stay independent, comfortable and dignified in their own homes.

We know part-time work needs to fit around real life, so:

Shifts fall between 6:30am and 10:30pm — pick mornings, evenings, weekends, or a mix

Choose a few hours a week or build up to more — it's flexible around you

Great as a second job, a return-to-work role, or something to fit around college or other commitments

No long shifts stuck in one place — visits are short and varied, so a few hours can genuinely fly by

A caring, patient and reliable nature

Good communication skills

A full driving licence and access to a vehicle (required, for getting between visits)

Willingness to learn — full training is provided, so previous care experience isn't essential

A DBS check will be required (don't worry, we cover the cost — see below!)

If you're kind, dependable and want a job where you can really see the difference you make in just a few hours a week, that's the most important quality we look for.

Because it's real. Because you'll build genuine relationships with the people you support. Because every visit, however small it might seem, can be the highlight of someone's day. It's not always easy, but it's rarely boring, and it's one of the few jobs where you can finish a shift knowing exactly what good you've done.

If this sounds like you — whether you're after a few hours a week to fit around your life, starting your very first job in care, or bringing years of experience — we'd love to hear from you.
