Job Description

First City Care Group is recruiting experienced and confident Care Assistants to join our Short-Term Homecare (Front Door) Team.

\n

This specialist, recovery-focused service supports people in their own homes following illness, hospital discharge or changes in health. Unlike long-term care, this is a time-limited service designed to help individuals regain independence, rebuild confidence and achieve personal goals.

\n

If you are passionate about empowering people rather than doing everything for them, this role offers meaningful, outcome-driven work in the community.

\n

About the Service

\n

Our Short-Term Homecare Team provides temporary support to help people:

\n
    \n
  • Remain safely at home during periods of increased difficulty
  • \n
  • Recover after a fall, illness or operation
  • \n
  • Regain confidence following hospital discharge
  • \n
  • Live well with progressive illness, including end-of-life support
  • \n
\n

You will actively support individuals to rebuild daily living skills, increasing independence as they progress.

\n

Working Hours

\n
    \n
  • Early Shift: Approximately 7:00am - 14:30pm
  • \n
  • Late Shift: Approximately 15:30pm - 23:00pm
  • \n
  • Long Day Shift: Approximately 7:00am - 23:00pm (with an unpaid break)
  • \n
\n

This is a community-based role, so flexibility and willingness to travel across Swindon and surrounding areas is essential. These hours can vary to meet the needs of the business.

\n

The Role (Community Based - Driving Essential)

\n

You will provide short-term, recovery-focused support, adjusting care as individuals progress.

\n

Your role will include:

\n
    \n
  • Supporting people to relearn and rebuild daily living skills
  • \n
  • Encouraging independence rather than completing tasks for them
  • \n
  • Working flexibly within 2-hour visit windows
  • \n
  • Adapting support daily based on recovery and changing needs
  • \n
  • Collaborating with therapists, healthcare professionals and internal teams
  • \n
\n

This is a dynamic role where your professional judgement, confidence and experience will be highly valued.

\n

Key Responsibilities

\n
    \n
  • Personal care, mobility support, meal preparation and medication assistance
  • \n
  • Encouraging and enabling independence at every opportunity
  • \n
  • Monitoring recovery and responding appropriately to changes
  • \n
  • Completing accurate digital care notes
  • \n
  • Maintaining clear communication with colleagues and professionals
  • \n
  • Delivering respectful, compassionate and person-centred care
  • \n
\n

What We Are Looking For

\n
    \n
  • Previous experience in homecare, reablement or support work
  • \n
  • Confidence working independently in the community
  • \n
  • NVQ Level 3 in Health & Social Care (preferred but not essential)
  • \n
  • Full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle (essential)
  • \n
  • Willingness to travel across Swindon and surrounding areas
  • \n
\n

What We Offer

\n
    \n
  • £14.75 - £14.95 per hour plus 35p per mile mileage
  • \n
  • Meaningful, varied work with measurable outcomes
  • \n
  • 28 days paid holiday (pro rata)
  • \n
  • Free uniform
  • \n
  • Pool cars available (subject to availability)
  • \n
  • Employee discounts and refer-a-friend bonus scheme
  • \n
  • Comprehensive induction and shadowing
  • \n
  • Employee Assistance Programme (Health Assured)
  • \n
\n

Ready to Make a Real Difference?

\n

If you are a driver who enjoys community-based work and wants to support people to recover and regain independence, we would love to hear from you.

\n

Apply today and be part of a service that genuinely changes lives.
