Make a Difference Every Day

Are you someone who brings kindness wherever you go? Do you enjoy chatting over a cuppa, offering a helping hand, and making people smile? At Aurora Community Care, we believe real care starts with real people — and we’re looking for more of them.

We’re a friendly, family-run team based in Worthing, and we’re proud to help people stay safe, well, and happy in the place they call home. Whether you’re new to care or looking for a fresh start, we’ll give you the tools, training, and support to shine.

What You’ll Be Doing

As a Care Giver, you’ll be supporting older adults and people with health needs across Worthing and the surrounding area. You’ll help them stay independent, comfortable, and connected — whether that’s at home, out and about, or in supported living.

Your day-to-day could include:

• Assisting with personal care, such as washing, dressing, toileting, and getting ready for the day — always with dignity and respect.
• Preparing nutritious meals and snacks tailored to their likes, needs, and any special diets.
• Providing companionship and a listening ear, especially for those living alone.
• Helping with light housekeeping — a quick tidy-up or some laundry can go a long way.
• Driving to appointments or outings (if you drive — many clients enjoy a trip to the shops or the sea!).
• Supporting families during more sensitive times, including hospice and end-of-life care.
• Keeping simple notes on care and passing on anything we need to know.

What You’ll Need

• No experience? No problem. We’ll give you full training and support every step of the way.
• A naturally caring, patient, and positive attitude.
• Good communication skills and a desire to build trusting relationships.
• A driving licence and access to a car is a big plus — especially for clients who love to get out.
• Some flexibility for evenings or weekends, if you’re available.

What You’ll Get

• Pay from £14–£30 per hour, depending on visit type and timing
• 35p per mile for travel
• Paid Travel Allowance
• Supplied Mobile Phone
• Paid training and ongoing development
• Employee discounts, pension scheme, and employee assistance programme
• 28 days holiday (pro rata)
• A genuinely supportive team who care about you, too

Come Join Our Caring Crew

We don’t wear capes, or unforms, just smiles. If you’ve got heart, humour, and a desire to make a real difference, we’d love to hear from you.
