Pontypridd, United Kingdom, Wales
We are proud to be an approved Tier 2 visa sponsor, actively seeking skilled individuals currently residing in the UK to join our team. If you possess a current United Kingdom work visa, dependent visa, or student visa and are seeking a new employment sponsor, and meet the criteria below, then please send us your application.
As a direct sponsor, we want to emphasize that we are not an agency; however, we do utilize an agent to streamline our applicant processing. Candidates must meet the current UK visa requirements, and you will be responsible for supporting the costs associated with your personal UK visa application. Rest assured, we cover all visa sponsorship fees, including the immigration skills charge, as your employment sponsor.
Our primary focus is on providing exceptional care to our clients in the comfort of their own homes, allowing them to maintain their independence for as long as possible. Care Assistants play a vital role in assisting customers with personal care tasks such as bathing, dressing, medication reminders, and household chores, while also providing valued companionship.
A prerequisite for all our applicants is having previous care experience in the UK, possessing a full UK driving license, and having access to their own vehicle for both business and personal use, as our domiciliary care company requires traveling throughout the local community to visit our clients.
