Homecare is all about helping vulnerable adults remain safe, happy, and independent in the place they love most – their own home.

Unlike working in a residential or hospital setting, community care is focused on building genuine relationships, providing companionship, and supporting people to live life on their own terms.

You'll do far more than complete tasks – you'll become a trusted part of someone's day and make a real difference to their quality of life. If you want to go home each day knowing you've changed someone's life for the better, this role could be perfect for you.

At London Care, we see extraordinary things happen every day thanks to the dedication and kindness of our care professionals.

As part of the CCH Group, the UK's largest care provider, we're transforming the future of care through innovation, investment in our people, and genuine career progression opportunities. When you join us, you'll become part of a supportive team where your hard work is valued and your development matters.

We are currently recruiting across the following community hubs:

• Basildon Areas: Central Basildon, Pitsea, Laindon, and Langdon Hills
• Harlow Areas: Central Harlow, East Harlow, South Harlow, and West Harlow
• Surrounding Communities: Brentwood, Billericay, Havering, Redbridge, and Wickford

We understand the importance of work-life balance, so we offer flexible working patterns to fit around your lifestyle.

• 🕖 7:00/8:00 AM – 3:00/4:00 PM

• 🕒 3:00/4:00 PM – 10:00 PM
• ✅ Full-time and part-time opportunities available
• ✅ Weekday and weekend shifts available

Hold onto your hats — ideally, you’ll have at least 6 months of social care experience to join our merry band of care crusaders!

But here’s the truth: what matters most to us is your heart of gold and your ability to sprinkle kindness wherever you go. You’ll need to be as resilient as a rubber band and as eager to learn as a curious kitten. Don’t worry — we’ll help you level up your skills and knowledge as part of our close-knit (and delightfully quirky) team.

While experience is a bonus, we’re really looking for people who:

• 💙 Have compassion oozing from every pore.
• 🗣️ Can communicate like a UN diplomat.
• 🧩 Possess problem-solving powers that would impress Mother Teresa.
• 👵 Are committed to respectful, high-quality care that would make your gran proud.

If you're looking for a rewarding role where you can make a genuine difference in your local community, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply today and start a career that changes lives – including your own.
