Domiciliary Care Worker

Domiciliary Support Worker

On-Site Care Village Role - No Community Travel

Location: Purpose-built Care Village (on-site only)

Reporting to: Registered Manager - Domiciliary Care Service

Contract: Full-time / Part-time / Flexible shifts available

About the Care Village

This is a modern, purpose-built care village set within landscaped grounds, offering a calm, well-supported environment for people in later life.

The site includes a 72-bed residential care home alongside close-care bungalows, where residents live independently with tailored care and support available on-site when needed.

This is domiciliary care done properly, no rushing between calls, no travelling between locations, and no isolation.

All care is delivered within the care village, supported by an experienced senior and residential care team.

The Role

We are recruiting Domiciliary Support Workers to provide high-quality, person-centred care to residents living in their own bungalows within the care village.

This role is entirely on-site.

You will not be required to travel into the community or move between care calls by car.

All care delivery takes place within walking distance, allowing you to focus on quality care, relationships and resident wellbeing.

You'll support residents to live safely, independently and with dignity in their own homes, following individualised care and support plans.

You'll work closely with the registered manager, senior team and residential care staff to ensure continuity, oversight and consistently high standards of care.

For overnight cover, a dedicated sleep-in room is available within the residential care home, providing a comfortable and supported base for sleep-in shifts when required.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide emotional support and promote social interaction and engagement within the care village


• Maintain accurate, timely records using on-site care systems


• Follow safeguarding, infection control, health & safety and manual handling procedures


• Participate in team meetings, supervision and ongoing training

• Building strong, trusted relationships


• Understanding residents' routines, preferences and wellbeing needs


• Feeding back observations and changes to senior staff


• Supporting residents' inclusion and quality of life within the care village
