Hello, thank you for taking the time to stop and read this advert
My name is Bex and my role at Saxon Care is to find and recruit reliable and caring staff to join our fabulous existing team of carers .. is that you?
We are a Care company that support and provide Care to clients in their own home. It is our aim to help and support clients to stay as independent as possible in the comfort of their own surroundings
The job is very satisfying and really can give you that “I have really helped someone “and that “feel good factor “but it can also be tough and sometimes lonely as there are days where you could be out on your own all day.
A little bit about the role: As a Home Care Assistant, you will be required to go into client’s homes; helping and supporting them with their daily challenges to enable them to stay at home. This can include personal care, helping to prepare meals, support with medication, feeding pets or assisting with trips and social outings
Each client is different and has different needs. Some clients require personal care including bathing and toileting, help with food and medication, others many need less support but need more help around their home.
It is important that you are a caring person who is patient and has time to stop and listen to your client, getting to know them on a more personal level
You are required to travel for this role so having your own transport is a must.
Perks of the job and why we are different from other Care companies: Our Home Care Assistants are paid from their first client to their last client That’s right, even when you are travelling between clients you are still paid an hourly rate. This means if you work for 8 hours you are paid for 8 hours work – we do not base your pay on contact time. We believe that you should be rewarded every second you wear our Saxon Care uniform.
Mileage + Gaps paid -our carers benefit from 45p mileage payments and gaps paid between visits, so you are never out of pocket whilst working (from first to last visit)
Guaranteed hours- We know job security and stable income is important, so we offer all our Care Assistants the opportunity to progress to guaranteed hours
Leading hourly rate – our carers put a smile on the face of the people that make up our community every single day and so we ensure our carers have an industry leading salary. Start pay £10.25-£12 per hour
Double time-We are one of the few companies that still pay DOUBLE time at bank holidays. We appreciate your hard work 😊
A bit about us: At Saxon Care we have spent the past 12 years providing outstanding support in our local community. We can only do that with the help and support from our Care Assistants who have helped us become one of the top 20 Care providers in the Southwest of England!
We are a family business with family values, and we are looking for new Care Assistants to join our award-winning team to become the best care provider in the Southwest. We can only do that with more kind, caring and like-minded individuals who want to finish each day fulfilled and with a smile on their face.
What we offer our Care Assistants
- We pay the highest mileage around at 45p per mile

We deliver the compassionate care needed to make it through day-to-day activities while still maintaining a healthy dose of independence.

Compassionate & Qualified In-Home Care

When you choose Saxon Care, you can take heart that our extensively trained employees will treat you and your loved ones like family. We strive to preserve dignity while enriching quality of life and empowering independence, as much as possible. With more than 10 years in the business of giving care, we’ve learned a thing or two about meeting the unique needs of each family and helping to make day to day life less stressful.
