Looking for a job where you can genuinely make a difference to someone's day?

Bluebird Care Calderdale and Bradford is looking for kind, reliable people to join our team of Care Assistants, supporting customers in their own homes across Halifax and Brighouse.

You don't necessarily need previous care experience. What matters most is that you're compassionate, dependable and comfortable helping people with the everyday things that allow them to stay safe, happy and independent at home.

Whether you're already working in care or looking for a completely new career, we'll give you the training and ongoing support you need.

No two days in care are exactly the same. You will visit customers in their own homes and provide support based on their individual needs.

Helping with washing, dressing and other personal care
Supporting customers with medication
Preparing meals and helping with food and nutrition
Helping with light housework, laundry and keeping the home comfortable
Providing companionship and a friendly face
Supporting customers to maintain their independence
Following individual care plans and keeping accurate records
Getting to know the people you support and noticing when something doesn't seem quite right

Sometimes the most important part of the visit is simply taking the time to have a chat and make sure someone is okay.

The ideal candidate

You don't need to have worked as a Care Assistant before, as full training will be provided.

A caring, patient and compassionate approach
Good communication skills
To be reliable and comfortable working independently
The confidence to support people with personal care
A genuine desire to help people live independently in their own homes

Previous experience in care is welcome, but it isn't essential.

What you'll receive

£13.00 per hour
25p mileage allowance per mile
Flexible shift patterns
Morning shifts from 7am–2pm
Evening shifts from 4pm–10pm

Care isn't just about completing a list of tasks. It's about treating people with dignity, getting to know them and helping them continue living life on their own terms.

You'll be trusted to work independently, but you'll have a supportive team behind you whenever you need them.

If you're caring, dependable and would like a role where the work you do genuinely matters, we'd love to hear from you.
