About Us

We’re a small, family\-run care provider founded by Charlotte, a former paramedic with 20 years’ experience. Her daughter is our Assistant Manager, so family values genuinely run through everything we do.

We deliver the kind of care we’d want for our own loved ones — personal, respectful, and relationship\-focused.

Our carers are known by name, not number. Clients see familiar faces each week, and many of our team have stayed with us for 3\+ years because they feel valued and supported.

Location: Preston \& Penwortham
(Your clients will all be within 3 miles)

What We Offer

  • Fixed days each week

  • Alternate weekends off

  • Consistent client list

  • Friendly, stable team

  • Regular social events \& active support chat
The Job role

You will support the same regular clients each week. All care is delivered in line with individual care plans to ensure safe, effective, and person\-centred support. This includes assisting with personal care, meal preparation, medication administration, companionship and social interaction, dementia care, light housekeeping, and monitoring wellbeing.

What Our Team Says

*"Don’t hesitate — apply now, you won’t regret it! The company is truly supportive, both to staff and clients. I came from retail management and wish I’d made the move sooner. Great team, flexible hours, and the best clients. You’ll love it here!"*
— Fiona, Current Care Assistant

If you’re compassionate, reliable, and looking for a stable role with set days and genuine work–life balance, we’d love to hear from you.
