At Choice Care, we provide the best possible care and support for those that need it - including people coming to the end of life, those with dementia, sensory impairment, or physical difficulties - enabling our clients to live their own homes with dignity and enjoy the best possible quality of life.

We are looking for carers to work in the Burnley area 4 days a week including working alternate weekends. Having care experience would be an advantage, but if you don't have any experience, we will train you up for the job.

We are a Preferred Provider for BWD Social Services and Lancashire county council we also provide care for the CCG as well as private clients. We are a family business and have been providing care in the area for 26 years.

If you have at least 6 months experience in care, you will start on an hourly rate of £12.50/hr. This will increase to £13.00 per hour once you've passed an NVQ qualification.

If you have an NVQ, you will go straight onto £13.00 per hour.

With an hourly rate if you have no care experience of £12.25 per hour, you will be trained first of all in our classroom by our management team, and then be mentored one on one by one of our experienced qualified carers.

Once you pass your probationary period your hourly rate will increase to £12.50. At that point you start your Level 2 or 3 NVQ qualification and when you achieve that your pay goes up to £13.00.

You need to be a driver with access to a car and able to work alternate weekends.

All pay rates are due to increase in April
