A unique care role: join our visiting care team in Richmond, London
We are seeking a Part-Time Care Assistant in Richmond for a fulfilling daily commitment. This role requires just 4 hours per day and is ideal for someone, like a student, or professional with other part-time work, who needs a reliable schedule that fits around other commitments.
We need someone lively and engaged to provide daily break cover for our client's live-in team. This is a live-out role focused on enriching the client's day, not traditional homecare.
The shift is 4 hours, seven days a week - this could be split between two people. While we have standard times (typically midday/early afternoon or late afternoon/early evening), we are open to discussing adjustments to the start and end times to accommodate your existing commitments.

- Baking treats in the home kitchen
- Leading arts and crafts projects
- Dedicated music time and creative pursuits
- Providing attentive, stimulating companionship during the break period
Essential Requirements:
This role is supportive, but requires a specific skill set. To be considered, you must have professional experience supporting individuals with:
- Learning Disabilities
- Epilepsy: You must be prepared to monitor for, and calmly respond to, any needs or incidents that arise
We are looking for someone reliable, creative, punctual, and empathetic who can build a genuine, long-term rapport

- Excellent Hourly Rates: Earn £14.50 (weekday) to £16.50 (weekend) per hour, plus paid holiday allowance and double pay on Bank Holidays
