We need you

We have an excellent team of care assistants at Sunshine Care and always welcome new faces. If you are a kind, friendly and caring person and do not have a criminal record we would love to speak to you. It would be advantageous if you had your own transport.

All of our Care Assistants have a common interest and desire to provide a first class service to our clients.

Training

We have a 4 day induction course that all employed carers attend to ensure that they are trained to the highest level to meet with CSCI standards. This includes training in care, manual handling, first aid, fire awareness, abuse, food hygiene and health and safety. If you haven't done care work before we will take our time to ensure that you are trained to a high standard of care and feel confident.

For any clients with specific needs further training would be given.

All employees will have the opportunity to receive free NVQII in Care Training within 6 months of starting with us.

Work Available

We have two types of work available for care assistants; Domiciliary Care and Live-In Care.

Some of our Care Assistants do Live-In care and also Domiciliary Care when they do not have a Live-In client, it is up to you which you choose. We can help you decide which will suit you better.

Wages

Domiciliary care wages are at least £8 per hour on weekdays and £10 ph at the week-end. Those who have achieved care qualifications or assume greater responsibilities receive enhancements.

Live-In care support staff pay is generally between £60 and £80 per day , depending on the client and their needs. The higher the level of care required the more you will be paid.
