We are recruiting Senior Care Assistants to join our team in the Petersfield area.
We're committed to keeping elderly and vulnerable people living in the comfort of their own homes (as an alternative to residential care) throughout Petersfield, Alton, Havant and the surrounding areas. This means you do need to drive and have your own vehicle to work for us.
While many companies only pay Healthcare Assistants for contact time, we believe you should be paid for every minute you work, so we pay for both travel time and mileage. On average, travel time equates to 10% of your working time, so put simply, working for a company that doesn't pay travel time means you'll be unpaid for 10% of every working day.
