Shepherd Healthcare Group needs you!

We provide round-the-clock care packages to support people including children, young people and adults who have long term health conditions to live in the comfort and safety of their own home.

We are urgently seeking carers and support workers in Ashford and the surrounding area to cover a choice of regular day, night and weekend shifts (8-12 hours per shift) – to join our team. You will have the opportunity to work on a long-term basis with one or a small number of clients and will benefit from a fixed rota as well as the option of overtime. We are ideally looking for people who are keen to work full time hours however part time roles are offered.

• Choice of day, night and weekend shifts.
• Shifts of 8-12 hours.
• Fixed rota with option of overtime.

Shepherd Healthcare Group will provide full, classroom-based training when you join us as well as paid/supported induction shifts and ongoing supervision provided by our in-house team of nurses and supervisors.

If a client’s needs mean that you require extra skills (for example, if they need assistance to meet their nutritional requirements), we will provide paid, specialist training to ensure that you can confidently support their needs and develop your own skills.

If you are eager to build a rapport with one or a small number of clients within your local community, keen to broaden your skills and welcome the consistency of the work that Shepherd Healthcare Group can offer, we hope to hear from you!
