Are you capable of listening to the exact same story about the Great Freeze of 1963 four times in one afternoon without breaking character? Can you brew a cup of Builder’s Tea so precisely calibrated that it cures mild existential dread? If so, Sunshine & Solace Care wants you.
We are looking for a dedicated Live-In / Visiting Carer to join our team in Bath.

Mobility & Personal Care: Safely assist clients with morning routines, dressing, and mobility, maintaining dignity and good humor at all times.
Competitive Board Games: Deliberately lose at Scrabble and Dominoes in a believable manner.
Medication Administration: Keep meticulous records of prescription schedules (no guesswork allowed).
Conversation Support: Feign genuine surprise at historical anecdotes you heard yesterday.
Requirements:
NVQ Level 2 or 3 in Health and Social Care (or equivalent experience).
