Home Care Jobs That Matter

Looking for a care job near you that feels worthwhile? CareUK247 provides home care across Cambridgeshire - Cambridge, Peterborough, Huntingdon, Ely and the surrounding area - and we're hiring home carers who want to do genuinely good work.

Whether you're new to care or an experienced carer moving on, there's a place for you here.

A Team Worth Joining

Our carers support older and vulnerable adults to live safely and independently at home. The work is practical, personal and meaningful - from domiciliary care visits and one-to-one support to live-in care roles where you shape someone's whole day.

We offer flexible hours, full training from day one, and the backing of a regulated, well-regarded team.

People comparing home care service jobs want to know what the work actually offers. Here's what joining CareUK247 looks like.

  • Competitive pay for home carer roles. We pay fairly for what you do, whether you're covering domiciliary visits, one-to-one care or a live-in caregiver role.

  • Flexible hours that fit your life. We have part-time and full-time care assistant jobs available, including day care shifts and night care positions. If you need a homecare job that works around other commitments, tell us and we'll make it work.

  • Paid training from day one. You don't need experience to apply. We provide a full induction and ongoing training so you can build real care skills with confidence.

  • A regulated employer you can trust. CareUK247 is CQC-registered, rated Good, and regulated by Cambridgeshire County Council. When you join us, you join a provider that takes its responsibilities seriously - to clients and to carers alike.

What We Stand For

Values only matter when they show up in what we actually do. Here's what ours look like in practice.

Dignity In Every Visit

Every person we care for deserves to feel respected, not just assisted. We knock before entering, follow someone's routine, and listen before we act. We expect the same from everyone on our team.

Honest, Practical Care

We don't overclaim what care can do, and we don't underdeliver on what we promise. Our carers are trained to do a real job well: helping with daily routines, safety, comfort and independence, without fuss or shortcuts.

People Over Process

Care plans are built around individuals, not rosters. That applies to our carers too. We want to know what works for you - your availability, your strengths, the kind of support you want to provide - and build a working arrangement around that.

Growing Together

We invest in our carers because better-trained carers give better care. That means proper inductions, ongoing development, and clear routes to progress if you want them - whether you're starting your first care assistant job or moving into a senior carer role.

Training and Support From Day One

  • Structured induction training. Every new starter completes a thorough induction before working independently, covering care fundamentals and safeguarding.
  • The Care Certificate. We support eligible carers through the Care Certificate, the nationally recognised standard for health and social care workers.
  • Specialist training pathways. As you settle into the role, there are opportunities to build expertise in areas such as dementia support, medication administration and personal care planning.
  • Ongoing CPD. Learning does not stop after induction. We provide regular refresher training and continuing professional development throughout your time with us.
  • Progression routes. Carers who want to grow into senior or supervisory roles are actively encouraged, and we promote from within wherever possible.
  • Support for new starters. If you are new to care, our training is designed to build your skills from the ground up, so you can support clients safely and confidently from the outset.

CareUK247 recruits directly rather than through an agency, which means you work with a consistent team and a regulated employer from day one.
