Listing ref 5883341a61

We are looking for a full-time and part-time Care Professional to provide support to our clients in living in Chichester & surrounding areas.

So, what's truly essential?

Genuine empathy, oodles of patience, and a hearty sense of humour. Your genuine kindness will transform a lonely afternoon into a brighter day for someone who needs it. Don't worry if you've never done this before—we'll support you with plenty of training to give you confidence.

Plus, with a variety of hours available covering weekdays, evenings, and weekends, we'll work with you to find a schedule that suits both you and our clients.
