Domestic Assistant jobs in Chalk Farm

We are looking for naturally caring individuals to join our Innovative Homecare Team

We offer luxury homecare – and excellent job opportunities.

Focused on supporting our clients to live well, it’s an ethos that extends to our team, too.

After all, you have to live well to do a job well, and that’s what we are all about – creating supportive, nurturing environment for both our clients and colleagues.

We’re looking to expand our team, recruiting team members who have the drive to deliver the finest quality of care, offering support and companionship to people who are living in their own homes in affluent areas of London.

For this role, we’re looking to welcome new personal assistants – and that could be you, even if you have never worked as one before.

Of course, if you do have experience in delivering care that would clearly be beneficial and indeed, ideal – but it is not essential.

You need a caring, kind and compassionate nature. If this is coupled with a keen desire to care and support people living the best life possible, then we’d love to hear from you – as we know you’ll be the right fit.

Are you someone who is warm, compassionate, approachable, dedicated, dynamic and have excellent communication skills? Then, please get in touch.

Full training is provided, so we’re focused on your personality. To deliver person-centred care and to look after people, you have to really care – and this is something that has to come naturally. A caring inclination isn’t taught, it’s ingrained.

You will, though, be supported to learn the fundamentals of the role in a supportive environment.

We are offering fixed contracted hours as well as flexible working and we match our team members to our clients based on skills, personality, backgrounds, interests and availability.

So, what does the day to day look like?
