Home Carer - £15/hr + Paid Travel Time and Mileage, minimum 1-Hour Visits, guaranteed hours, full and part time roles
At Bronte House, we’re a small, independent homecare provider doing things a little differently.
We believe exceptional care takes time, consistency and genuine connection - especially for people living with dementia.
We are passionate about making a difference to the lives of older people and their families, with a specialist focus on people living with dementia.
We are committed to providing the highest quality care for our clients while creating a positive and supportive environment for our team.
We are looking for kind, reliable carers to join our friendly team supporting people in their own homes across York.
About the Role
As a Care Companion, you'll support older people, including people living with dementia, to live independently and enjoy life in the comfort of their own home. From companionship, preparing meals and personal care to supporting clients to enjoy hobbies, appointments and time in the community, every day is different. Above all, you'll build meaningful relationships and make a genuine difference to the lives of the people you support.
This is a community-based care role, where you’ll work independently but always feel part of a supportive team.
What makes this role special:
- Minimum 1-hour visits - time to care properly
- Consistent clients - build real relationships
- A calm, person-centred approach to dementia care
