Could this be the role that makes a real difference to your life, and someone else’s?
Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to finish work knowing you’ve genuinely helped someone? To know that because of you, someone’s day was brighter, calmer, or simply a little easier?
At Radfield Home Care, that’s exactly what our Care Assistants do every single day.
Join us on our mission
Radfield Home Care specialises in personalised, private care for older people in their own homes. We’re proud to be a national leader in home care innovation and a fast-growing, multi-award-winning business, but what really matters is the impact we have on people’s lives.
Our mission is simple: to make ageing a more enjoyable and rewarding experience. And who makes that happen? People like you.
Because isn’t care about more than tasks and routines? Isn’t it about connection, dignity, and helping someone live life on their terms?
Is this you?
Are you kind, supportive, and naturally positive? Do you roll your sleeves up and get stuck in when someone needs help? Do you believe that everyone deserves to feel valued and understood?
If so, you could be exactly the Care Assistant in Shrewsbury we’re looking for.
Do you need experience?
Not at all.
If you’re new to care, we’ll support you every step of the way with:
Full paid training
A comprehensive induction
Ongoing mentoring
All we ask is that you:
Have the right to work in the UK
Hold a UK driving licence
Have access to a vehicle with business-use insurance
Already worked in care? Whether you’ve been a caregiver, support worker, healthcare assistant or carer, we’d love to hear from you too.

Genuine appreciation and recognition for your hard work

Isn’t that how care work should be?
