Job summary
Paid per shift, not per minute. We pay for your full shift, rather than separate contact and travel time, giving you greater certainty over your earnings. Mileage is paid in addition to your shift rate. Our Hospice at Home service provides packages of care to help people remain at home in the later stages of their life. Full training provided and no experience needed!
Main duties of the job
- Our Dorothy House Hospice at Home team are committed to providing compassionate and personalised care to support anyone in the community requiring End of Life care in their own home. * As a carer you will be expected to undertake all aspects of personal care (this can include washing/showering patients, managing bodily fluids including catheters and stomas and providing care after death) as well as provide emotional care and support to the patient and their family, treating them with respect, dignity and compassion at all times.
About us
Our carers are community based and will occasionally work at our Winsley Hospice. This means that you will be expected to travel anywhere within our geographical catchment area, so access to your own vehicle is essential. (You will be reimbursed for your mileage at our agreed rate.)

Our Hospice at Home service provides packages of care to help people remain at home in the later stages of their life. Full training provided and no experience needed!
If you are a passionate and caring individual looking for a rewarding new challenge, or perhaps looking to start a carer in care, then this is for you!
WHERE WILL I BE WORKING?
Our carers are community based and will occasionally work at our Winsley Hospice. This means that you will be expected to travel anywhere within our geographical catchment area, so access to your own vehicle is essential. (You will be reimbursed for your mileage at our agreed rate.)
Where possible, we try to keep you working in your local area, however, this is not always possible so a degree of flexibility is sometimes needed. We provide care both across the day and overnight 365 days a year.
We are currently recruiting for Day Carers who can work shifts that cover our 07:00 - 22:00 care needs, including alternate weekends.
ABOUT THE BENEFITS
Dorothy House is an incredible place to work. Some of our benefits include:
We are currently looking for Community Carer Workers to join our fantastic Hospice at Home team.
ABOUT YOU
No health or social care experience needed! Although any previous experience of working in care would be an advantage. We are happy to consider anyone from any background, so long as they can demonstrate empathy and compassion with the passion to learn and develop.
Due to the nature of the role, you will need a full UK drivers licence with access to a vehicle.
Please note that we are unable to provide sponsorship for this role. Candidates must be able to provide an existing proof of right to work in the UK.
If this sounds like your ideal job, then we'd love to see your application. Please note that our vacancies can close at any time once sufficient applications have been received. We therefore encourage early submission of your application.
