Frequently Asked Questions
While previous experience is a significant advantage, we welcome applications from individuals with a genuine passion for care. For entry-level candidates, we work with clients who provide full training and shadowing opportunities. Your attitude, compassion, and reliability are often just as important as your experience. We can guide you on the necessary steps to begin a rewarding career in care.
For most community-based roles, yes – a full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle is required due to the travel between client homes. Mileage is paid at an agreed rate. However, we do occasionally have block-contract roles or positions within specific residential complexes where this may not be necessary. Please discuss your circumstances with our consultant during your initial call.
We operate a fast-track compliance process. If you have all your documents ready (proof of address, right to work, references, etc.), we can often complete registration within 2-3 working days. The DBS check is usually the longest part, but we can sometimes place you in a supervised role while it processes. For truly immediate start jobs, we are experts at matching candidates with urgent needs.
Domiciliary care requires flexibility. Typical shifts include early mornings (7 am - 10 am), late mornings (10 am - 2 pm), evenings (4 pm - 10 pm), and occasional night visits.
