ABOUT THE ROLE
Clarendon Home Care is looking for caring, reliable people to join our team as Home Care Assistants. Based in Kingston upon Thames, we have been providing home care to elderly and vulnerable adults across the local area since 1994.
You will visit clients in their own homes, supporting them with personal care, medication prompting, meal preparation and companionship. Rounds are local - within a few miles of where you live - and you will visit the same clients regularly, building genuine relationships over time.
We have morning shifts (7am–2pm) and evening shifts (4pm–10pm) available. Whether you prefer mornings or evenings, we will work with you to find a pattern that suits.
We are a small, independently run agency - not a national franchise — and we offer consistent hours and a supportive team.
