Looking for work that fits around family life?
Are you a parent looking to earn some extra money while the children are at school? Would you love a job that fits around your family commitments while giving you the chance to make a real difference in someone else's life?
At Bluebird Care Glasgow South, we believe some of the most important skills in care are the ones you may already use every day as a parent.
Your patience, kindness, understanding and ability to put someone else's needs first are all qualities that can make you a wonderful Care Assistant.
You don't need previous care experience. Sometimes, the skills you already have are the perfect place to start.
Turn your everyday skills into something special.
As a parent, you're used to juggling responsibilities, adapting when plans change, offering reassurance, listening, solving problems and helping others feel safe and supported.
These are valuable skills in care, too.
Imagine using that same patience to reassure an older person who feels anxious, your organisational skills to help someone with their daily routine, or your natural warmth to brighten someone's day with a friendly chat and a cup of tea.
For the people we support, these everyday moments can mean everything.
Work around your family commitments.
We understand how important it is to find a job that works around school runs, family life and other commitments. That's why we offer a range of shift patterns to help you find a routine that suits you.
Available shifts include:
- 9.30am–2.30pm, Monday to Friday – ideal for working during school hours.
- 8am–12pm – a shorter morning shift to fit around the rest of your day.
- 8am–2pm – a longer daytime shift for those looking for additional hours.
- 4pm to 10pm
- Weekends
With a range of daytime options available, you could earn extra income, use your time productively and finish your shift knowing you've made a real difference.
What we offer
- £14.25 per hour
- A choice of daytime shift patterns
- Full induction and expert training – no previous care experience needed
- Uniform and PPE provided
- Paid travel time and mileage
- Ongoing learning and career development opportunities
- A supportive management team and 24/7 guidance
- The opportunity to build a rewarding career around your family life
What will you be doing?
As a Care Assistant, you'll support people to live safely, comfortably and independently in their own homes.
Your day may include:
- Providing friendly companionship and a listening ear
- Helping with personal care while maintaining dignity and respect
- Preparing meals and encouraging healthy eating and hydration
- Supporting people with their daily routines and medication, following their care plans and training
- Helping with light household tasks
- Offering reassurance and helping customers feel confident and independent
Every visit is an opportunity to make someone feel cared for, valued and less alone.
What we're looking for:
You don't need previous care experience. We're looking for people who are:
- Kind, patient and compassionate
- Reliable, responsible and trustworthy
- Good at communicating and building relationships
- Confident working independently and following guidance
- Keen to learn and make a positive difference
A full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle are essential, as you'll travel between customers' homes.
Your caring skills could make all the difference.
Perhaps you're a parent looking to boost your household income while the children are at school. Perhaps you're ready to return to work, looking for a fresh start or simply hoping to find a job that gives you a sense of purpose.
The patience, compassion and understanding you bring to family life could be exactly what someone else needs.
At Bluebird Care Glasgow South, we value the person behind the role just as much as the skills they bring.
Make a difference. Earn extra income. Find a job that fits your life.
If you're ready to turn your everyday caring skills into something truly rewarding, we'd love to hear from you.
