Weekend Care Assistant – Hove & Brighton (£17 per hour, guaranteed weekends)

GoodOaks Homecare Sussex South was rated GOOD by the CQC in April 2026, something we are very proud of.

If you are studying, working midweek, or building your week around family, weekend care work fits neatly alongside it – and it is the shift we value most, which is why it carries our best rate.

Guaranteed weekend availability – £17.00 per hour

Weekends – £16.00 per hour

Weekdays – £14.00 per hour, if you would like to pick up midweek work too

Time and a half on bank holidays

Mileage paid between client visits

We cover Shoreham-by-Sea, Southwick, Worthing and Brighton, and we have midweek roles available as well.

Between 10 and 30 hours a week. We offer zero-hours contracts with a Flexiday option that guarantees your pay based on the availability you give us, and guaranteed-hours contracts are available subject to availability.

You will support clients to stay in the homes they love – safe, happy and as independent as they can be. That means personal care, medication, meals, mobility support, companionship and light household tasks, alongside keeping an eye on how someone is doing and writing up your care notes.

People like being around you. You are kind, compassionate, reliable and person-centred, with a natural warmth and an honest streak. You communicate well, you are organised, and you turn up when you say you will. Previous care experience is welcome but genuinely not essential – we train you properly.

Our mission is to help people keep their independence and wellbeing at home.

You will need a clear DBS check, which we pay for, and at least two references

For this role we are recruiting female Care Professionals only. This is a genuine occupational requirement under Schedule 9, Part 1 of the Equality Act 2010, because the clients being supported have requested a female care professional for intimate personal care.

Apply and our recruitment team will be in touch within 24 hours. We arrange interviews quickly and you can start as soon as you are ready.
