Weekend Community Care Assistant – Make Every Day Matter
EDS Homecare | Chesterfield, Dronfield, Peak District & Derbyshire Dales
£14.00 – £14.75 per hour + paid travel time + mileage
At EDS Homecare, we believe care is about far more than tasks and routines, which is partly why we were awarded Outstanding in our 2026 CQC inspection.
It’s about helping someone feel safe, valued, independent, and never alone.
Every visit you make has the power to change someone’s day — whether that’s preparing a meal, offering reassurance, helping someone get ready in the morning, or simply being the friendly face they’ve been looking forward to seeing.
For over 25 years, we’ve been proudly supporting people in our local communities to remain comfortable and independent in their own homes. As a nurse-led, family-run business, we know that exceptional care starts with exceptional carers — which is why we put our team first.
We don’t just talk about work-life balance, respect, and support. We build our service around it.
If you’re kind, reliable, and want a career where you genuinely make a difference, we’d love to hear from you.
