Common Questions

Do I need experience in care? +

No experience is required. We provide full training including the Care Certificate. What matters most is who you are as a person - kindness, reliability, and genuinely caring about the people you'll support.

Do I need a car? +

A car is helpful as visits are spread across the community, but it's not essential for all roles. In some areas, we can arrange rounds that are walkable or accessible by public transport. Let's discuss your situation.

What are the minimum hours? +

We're genuinely flexible. Some of our team work just 4-8 hours per week, others work full-time. We'll work with whatever you can offer - even a few hours helps.

What about DBS checks? +

All care workers need an Enhanced DBS check. We arrange and pay for this. Having a criminal record doesn't automatically prevent employment - we assess each case individually and fairly.

How quickly could I start? +

Once you've had your interview and we've completed essential checks (usually 2-3 weeks), you'll start paid training. Most people are out caring for people within 4-6 weeks of applying.
