Job Title: Bank Home Care Support Worker
Location: Caerwys/ Afonwen
Pay: £13.00 - £16.25 per hour + Paid Mileage @ 43p per mile & company pension
Job Overview
We are seeking compassionate and dedicated Bank Female Home Care Workers to provide essential support and assistance to clients in their own homes. This role involves delivering personalised care to individuals including elderly clients, those with chronic illnesses, mobility impairments or individuals recovering from illness or surgery. The ideal candidate will have experience in working within the community, patient care, or nursing home environments, and possess a genuine desire to improve the quality of life for others through attentive and respectful caregiving.
In addition to competitive pay, staff are paid for their full shift hours irrespective of gaps between calls. For example, if a shift runs from 7:30–14:00, the worker is paid for the entire shift, not just the contact and wait time.

Travel time is also accounted for during shift so staff have adequate time to arrive safely from one call to another without feeling rushed.
