Summary
This post is only for UK residents who need a Skilled Worker visa sponsorship.
You must be willing to relocate to one of Abicare’s office locations in Salisbury, Bradford on Avon, Swindon, or South Wales. You will be providing visiting care to around 5-10 clients in their own homes on a daily basis, thus driving is required.

A good Carer is simply someone who genuinely cares; they do the job because they believe they can make a difference in someone’s life by injecting humour into the day, assisting with small chores that improve clients’ quality of life, providing reassurance when confidence is low, and lifting morale during lonely times.

Understanding what good care looks like.
Excellent writing and communication skills
Individuals that can function individually and as part of a larger care team.

The ability to make basic meals and maintain acceptable sanitary standards.
You must be available to work alternate weekends, early mornings, and evenings.
You will be expected to demonstrate Abicare’s five core values (C.H.E.C.K):
Committed, Honest, Empowering, Collaborative, and Kind.
