Join Vestra Homecare – Care Assistants Wanted

Peterlee, Blackhall Colliery, Horden, Easington Colliery, South Hetton, Murton, and Seaham

At Vestra Homecare, we believe great care starts with great people. As a proud Durham-based, family-run company, we’re looking for kind, compassionate and reliable Care Assistants to join our growing team.

If you want a rewarding role where you’re genuinely valued — not just a number — we’d love to hear from you.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll support older people in Durham to remain safe, independent and comfortable in their own homes.

Your role may include:

  • Helping clients get in and out of bed
  • Assisting with washing, dressing and personal care
  • Supporting with medication
  • Preparing meals and drinks
  • Providing companionship and reassurance

Pay & Benefits

We look after our team so they can look after others.

  • £13.70 per hour
  • 30p per mile (drivers with own vehicle)
  • £200 Refer-a-Friend bonus
  • Monthly reward & recognition scheme
  • Company pension scheme
  • FREE Blue Light Card

Career Progression & Promotion Opportunities

We’re growing — and we promote from within.

For those looking to build a long-term career in care, there are genuine opportunities to progress into:

  • Senior Care Worker
  • Field Supervisor
  • Care Coordinator roles

We actively support professional development and leadership training for the right candidates.

What We’re Looking For

You don’t need previous care experience — just the right values.

  • A kind and caring nature
  • Reliability and good communication skills
  • A desire to make a difference
  • Drivers welcome (but walker roles also available)

Why Work for Vestra Homecare?

We are a local, family-run Durham business that truly values its staff. We recognise hard work, celebrate success, and create a supportive team environment where you can thrive.

You’re not just joining a company — you’re joining a team that cares.

If you’re ready for a rewarding role with real career progression, apply now and we’ll be in touch to arrange a face-to-face interview.
