Care Assistant

At London Care (Part of the CCH Group), every day is different. Every day gives you the chance to do meaningful, rewarding work that truly changes people’s lives. We are expanding our services with an exciting new contract in the area, and we’re currently recruiting full-time and part-time Care Assistants to support service users across our local communities. Domiciliary care is all about keeping people where they are happiest—in their own homes. Instead of our clients moving into a residential facility, you will travel to them.
