No. Being able to do both companionship and personal care gives more flexibility in finding clients, hours, and routes to suit you. We choose CareGivers with friendly personalities as companionship is an important part of the role.
We pay above the Brighton & Hove Living Wage for weekdays, with increased rates for evening and weekend hours. From January 2023, we pay from the start of your first visit to the end of your last during evenings and weekends. There are often bonus schemes to earn extra money each month, plus a comprehensive benefits package - including being the only home care company in the UK to offer company share ownership.
No. We would love to, but we are currently not in a position to offer sponsorship. It is something we are actively looking into.
Less than 12 hours a week isn't practical, given our investment in your training and employee benefits such as the company share ownership scheme.
No. Currently we have waking night and daytime/evening hourly work but no live-in opportunities. We have partnered with Elder.org for clients who need live-in care.
Our office is on Kingsway, in Hove. We support clients in their own homes across Brighton & Hove and the surrounding areas.
Yes. We have Kingsway Care branded pool cars available for CareGivers with a UK driving licence aged 25 and over (for insurance reasons).
All CareGivers complete a three-day in-person training programme, shadowing visits, and final observations before their first home care visit. You'll be supported to complete the Care Certificate over the 12-week probationary period, with ongoing training in manual handling, hoists, and medication management. We can also support you in gaining further qualifications in health & social care.
Occasionally we have vacancies within the office team, advertised on Indeed and our social media channels (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram). Our management team is hands-on, regularly doing home care visits and covering for staff sickness.
Yes. We ask all CareGivers to work at least one evening route every week (5pm–10pm). For weekends, you can work every other weekend (both days) or a Saturday or Sunday each week - usually a morning route, a break, then an evening route. You'll receive an increased hourly rate for evenings, weekends, and public holidays.
