Rest assured, we cover all visa sponsorship fees, including the immigration skills charge, as your employment sponsor.

Our primary focus is on providing exceptional care to our clients in the comfort of their own homes, allowing them to maintain their independence for as long as possible. Care Assistants play a vital role in assisting customers with personal care tasks such as bathing, dressing, medication reminders, and household chores, while also providing valued companionship.

A prerequisite for all our applicants is having previous care experience in the UK, possessing a full UK driving license, and having access to their own vehicle for both business and personal use, as our domiciliary care company requires traveling throughout the local community to visit our clients.

– Utilization of the company care system for logging calls and information

– Proficiency in written and verbal English for effective communication

– Commitment to keeping up-to-date with all required training

– Demonstrated ability to remain calm and show patience and understanding towards service users’ needs

– Availability to work alternate weekends

– Employment is contingent upon Proof of Eligibility to Work in the UK, Enhanced DBS checks, and satisfactory references.

Visa Requirements:

– Possession of a minimum Level 2 healthcare diploma (or equivalent) or a minimum of 1 year of experience as a senior carer or care assistant

– Holding a current UK driving license (foreign licenses may be accepted in certain circumstances)

– Submission of a complete and up-to-date CV with no education, employment or work gaps

– Proficiency in English language skills, including speaking, reading, and writing at a high standard

What We Offer Successful Candidates:

– Working hours will be 37.5 hours a week and although these hours may vary, sponsored care workers will always work an average of 150 hours a month. Salary will be paid monthly, with a guaranteed annual salary of £23,205. You will have the opportunity for additional hours at a pay rate of £12 per hour.

– Paid holidays and mileage reimbursement at 30p per mile

– Company pension scheme

– Comprehensive preliminary and ongoing training opportunities

– Potential for up to 5 year sponsorship with the opportunity for long-term UK residency status

– Full support throughout the UK visa application process.
