Care Assistant - Ipswich and Kesgrave

Are you looking for a new career in 2025? Would you like to learn new skills and make a difference to someone's life every day?

Our home care service is one of just 4% in England, rated as "Outstanding" and our Caregivers support adults in their own homes, working between 16 and 35 hours each week.

We work with you to fit around your life commitments. Some of our fantastic team had no formal care experience before joining us, and some say Caregiving isn't like an everyday job - it's rewarding, and they feel like a valued professional.

Whether or not you have experience of caring, you will have excellent training, you will 'shadow' experienced Caregivers and you will be introduced to your regular clients. Visits are not rushed, and are a minimum of one hour.

Our regulator wrote this about Right at Home Ipswich: "People were at the very heart of the service ... The philosophy and values were shared across the team ...One staff member said, "The training is superb."
