Make a difference close to home

Buzz Housekeeping is recruiting compassionate, reliable Care Professionals on behalf of our client to support adults in their own homes.

You will help people maintain their independence, follow their preferred routines and enjoy a better quality of life. Whether you have experience in care or are starting a new career, we welcome applicants who bring kindness, patience and a commitment to supporting others.

About the role

You will provide practical support and companionship tailored to each person’s care plan, needs and wishes.

Continuity matters. Wherever possible, you will support the same clients regularly, giving you time to build trusted relationships and understand what matters to them.

Visits last a minimum of one hour, allowing time for thoughtful, person-centred care.

Your responsibilities

• Support with personal care, including washing, dressing, grooming and toileting, while protecting privacy and dignity.

• Provide companionship, reassurance and emotional support.

• Encourage independence and involve clients in decisions about their care.

• Prepare meals and drinks, supporting nutrition and hydration.

• Provide medication support where required, in accordance with care plans, training and assessed competence.

• Assist with shopping, errands, appointments and community activities.

• Help with light household tasks to maintain a comfortable home.

• Support mobility and transfers in line with training and individual care plans.

• Keep accurate care records and promptly report changes in wellbeing, concerns or incidents.

• Follow safeguarding, infection prevention, confidentiality and health and safety procedures.

What we’re looking for

• A caring, compassionate and patient approach.

• Good communication and listening skills.

• Reliability, punctuality and a professional attitude.

• Confidence working independently, following care plans and asking for support when needed.

• Respect for people’s individual choices, backgrounds and beliefs.

• Willingness to complete induction and ongoing training.

• Ability to travel reliably between clients within your agreed working area.

• The right to work in the UK.

Previous care experience is desirable but is not essential for opportunities where full training is provided. A driving licence and access to a vehicle are desirable for some assignments; requirements will be explained before placement.

Appointments are subject to satisfactory recruitment checks, including references and an enhanced DBS check.

What we offer

• Pay of £13.75–£16.25 per hour.

• Minimum one-hour client visits.

• Regular client assignments wherever possible.

• Full-time, part-time, evening and weekend opportunities.

• Paid induction and training.

• Ongoing professional development.

• Support from a management team.

• Uniform provided.

• Employee referral and recognition programmes.

• Travel or mileage payments where applicable.

• Workplace pension, subject to eligibility.

• Opportunities to progress into senior and supervisory roles.

Specific hours, benefits and travel arrangements will be confirmed for the assignment before you accept.

Our values

We welcome people who demonstrate compassion, respect, dignity, reliability and professionalism in their everyday actions.
