Care work that feels good to come home from
We are a local, family-run care company in Reading, and we genuinely look after the team, because a happy team gives better care. Simple as that. No CV needed, just a conversation.
Proud to be a Great Place to Work in Reading
We are proud to have been recognised as a Great Place to Work in Reading, and even prouder that this comes from real feedback from our team. This isn't about shiny awards. It's about feeling supported, being listened to, and knowing you matter.
Is this role for you?
Care is about people. We believe in being honest upfront so everyone is happy.
This role IS for you if:
- You are kind, patient, and reliable.
- You treat people with dignity and respect.
- You want to feel part of a genuine, supportive team.
- You believe care is about people, not rushing visits.
This role might NOT be for you if:
- You are looking for quick money with no heart.
- You do not enjoy teamwork or communicating with managers.
- You prefer to work completely unsupported without feedback.
And that's okay, we believe finding the right fit matters for everyone.

Careers & Recruitment FAQs
Common questions from people looking to join our care team in Berkshire.
Do I need experience to apply?
Not at all. If you are kind, reliable, and willing to learn, we can teach you the rest. Many of our best carers started with no formal care experience — some had simply cared for a family member or loved one.
How much will I be paid?
Our pay rates range from £12.71 to £15.50 per hour depending on experience, role, and responsibilities. On average, our full-time carers earn approximately £600 per week. We are open and transparent about pay, and we will always talk it through with you clearly before anything is agreed.
What hours are available?
We offer a range of options including mornings (busiest 7:00am–2:00pm), evenings (from 4:00pm), weekends, and flexible shifts. For live-in care, placements are usually for a minimum of one week at a time. We try to match work around your availability.
Is this a rushed, high-pressure care role?
No. We plan rotas carefully and focus on quality care, not rushing between visits. You will have full support from the office and a team that understands care is about people, not ticking boxes.
What happens after I apply?
Nothing scary, we promise! You will hear from us for a friendly, no-pressure chat. It is simply a chance to get to know each other and see if we are a good fit — no CV required, no hard sell, no obligation.
