Location: We are currently seeking Care Assistants who are able to support clients in Newcastle upon Tyne. These areas offer a vibrant, community-focused environment where you will not only provide vital care, but also help our clients maintain their connections to the places and people they love.

Your Role: As a Care Assistant with Right at Home Tyneside, you’ll be doing far more than just fulfilling a role - you’ll be improving lives every day. Your main responsibility will be to provide personal care and support to our clients, ensuring they can live as independently as possible in the comfort of their own homes. You will also help with meal preparation, housekeeping, and social activities, all while promoting a positive and nurturing atmosphere. Whether it’s assisting with a simple task or providing companionship, every action you take helps to enhance the quality of life for those in your care.

In addition to personal care, your role will include helping clients with social visits, days out, medication administration, and other daily living activities. The relationships you build with your clients will be meaningful and long-lasting, as we believe in providing continuity of care with recurring shifts and assigned clients.

About You: You don’t need previous care experience to thrive in this role - what’s most important is a passion for helping others and a desire to go above and beyond. If you already have experience as a carer or support worker, that’s fantastic! But if not, we provide full training to ensure you have all the skills you need to succeed. You may have cared for family members or friends and developed skills that make you an excellent fit for our team. We welcome candidates from all backgrounds, as long as you share our dedication to delivering exceptional care.

Requirements:

• A caring nature with a 'can-do' attitude
• Passion for providing high-quality care
• Availability to work alternate weekends
• A full driver’s license and access to a vehicle
• Successful DBS check and suitable references

Why Choose Us? Working in care is not just a job - it’s a calling. Every day, you will have the opportunity to make a positive difference in the lives of our clients, bringing joy, comfort, and support. The impact you make is immediate and long-lasting, and the gratitude you’ll receive from both clients and their families is truly rewarding. At Right at Home Tyneside, we take great pride in creating a supportive and inclusive environment for both our staff and clients. When you join our team, you become part of a community that is passionate about making a difference, one client at a time.
