Work for us

Work for a company that puts care first

Ashley Care has led from the front in the care sector since 1987, and in homecare specifically since 2003. We are a family-run company with a strong family ethos. We offer flexible working hours to fit around our staff and their families, as well as competitive rates of pay. Unlike many home care providers, we operate a weekly payroll, so you are renumerated quicker for the work you do. Delivering care throughout the Southend Borough allows us to create small, focused areas of care needs, meaning less travel time and greater efficiency for staff working out in the community. Whether you are new to social care or an experienced professional, we have training programmes to support your ongoing professional development. At Ashley Care, everyone takes pride in the vital work we do. As well as taking care of our clients, we take care of our staff too.

Not sure if working in the care profession is for you?  We have been working with Skills for Care to dispel many of the myths around working in care, and to counter some common misconceptions. Take a look at Working in Care – Common Myths.

So, come and join us and be part of a profession to be proud of.

Here’s a list of our current vacancies. If you would like any further information, please email vikki.jackson@ashleycare.com or call 01702 343789.

We display empathy to those we care for and others on our team, and use self-awareness to recognise the impact of our behaviours.

We recognise and appreciate the contribution of our team, and communicate with those we care for in a polite, clear, and open way.

Effective: We are committed to delivering high-quality care which means continuously learning and improving our service. We gather and share feedback to identify ways we can improve to better meet the needs of our team and service users. We support and mentor others to enable them to learn new skills. We are willing to embrace new ways of working and new technology, to improve our services and add value to the care we provide.
