Care Assistant - Independent Living Hubs (No Driving Required)

Are you caring, reliable, and passionate about helping others live independently? First City care group is looking for compassionate Healthcare Assistants to join our team within our Independent Living Hubs across Swindon.

These Hubs are residential buildings where individuals live independently in their own flats and receive support based on their needs.

You'll provide care within one building at a time, moving from flat to flat — making this a great role for non-drivers.

While a driving licence isn't required, there is an expectation of flexibility to work across our four locations in Swindon, currently with a high demand in Highworth and Wroughton.

You'll also have opportunities to support at on-site Day Centres, where individuals come to socialize, have meals, and enjoy activities.

Location: Highworth, Wroughton, Swindon
Job Type: Full-time or Part-time
Hours : 7am - 15:00pm / 15:00pm - 23:00pm/ 20:00pm - 7:00am

• Provide person-centred care based on individual care plans


• Support with personal care, mobility, and medication


• Help with daily routines, meal prep, light domestic tasks, and shopping

Some individuals may have multiple visits a day, while others require less frequent support, with visit durations ranging from 30 minutes to 4 hours depending on individual care needs.

We are looking for someone who is:

• Honest, caring, and reliable


• Compassionate and friendly


• Hands-on and willing to support with personal care


• Able to arrange their own transport to and from shifts (especially important for early starts and late finishes)

Experience is not essential - full training is provided.

We also welcome experienced carers and those who've supported family members.
