Job Description: Care Assistant / Support Worker in Liverpool
Recruitment Agency London is partnering with reputable care homes, supported living facilities, and community care providers across Liverpool L1 to fill urgent Care Assistant and Support Worker positions. These roles are at the heart of delivering compassionate, person-centred care to adults and elderly clients, helping them to maintain their independence, dignity, and quality of life. Whether you have years of experience or are looking to start a meaningful career in care, we have opportunities that can suit you.
By applying through our agency, you gain access to a wide network of employers without the hassle of applying to each one individually. We handle the negotiations, ensure you are paid accurately and on time every week, and provide ongoing support from a dedicated consultant who knows the Liverpool care sector inside out. Just as we connect candidates for warehouse jobs or hotel receptionist roles, we specialise in matching the right care professional with the right setting.
Key Responsibilities & Daily Duties
- Providing direct personal care and assistance with activities of daily living, including washing, dressing, toileting, and meal preparation, always respecting the client's dignity and preferences.
- Offering companionship and emotional support, engaging clients in conversation and meaningful activities to promote mental well-being and reduce social isolation.
- Administering medication (following appropriate training and in line with company policy) and supporting clients with mobility, using appropriate equipment and techniques.
- Maintaining accurate and timely records of care provided, observing and reporting any changes in a client's condition or well-being to senior staff or nurses.
- Assisting with light domestic tasks to ensure a safe, clean, and comfortable living environment for clients, fostering a homely and supportive atmosphere.
What We're Looking For in a Candidate
- A genuinely compassionate and patient nature, with a strong desire to help others. Previous experience in a care setting is highly advantageous, but a positive attitude and willingness to learn are equally valued.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build trusting relationships with clients, their families, and the wider care team.
- Reliability and flexibility. Many roles require availability for early, late, night, and weekend shifts. A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle is beneficial for community-based roles.
- A commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of vulnerable adults. A clear, enhanced DBS check will be required, which we can help you process.
Salary, Benefits & Why This Role is Rewarding
We believe in offering competitive remuneration that reflects the vital work Care Assistants and Support Workers do. Pay rates for these Liverpool L1 roles typically range from £11.44 to £13.50 per hour, with enhancements for weekend, bank holiday, and night shifts. Specific rates are determined by the client, your experience, and the setting (e.g., residential care, dementia care, mental health support).
Beyond the pay, the benefits of working through Recruitment Agency London include:
- Weekly Pay: You will be paid reliably every week, directly into your bank account.
- Flexible Working: Choose shifts that fit your life. We have full-time, part-time, and ad-hoc hours available.
- Career Progression: Gain experience in various settings. Many of our temporary roles lead to permanent offers from the employer.
- Training & Support: Access to free or subsidised training, including mandatory courses like Moving & Handling and Safeguarding.
- One Point of Contact: Your personal consultant will support you throughout your assignment, just as we do for candidates in support worker jobs elsewhere or those seeking admin assistant roles.
The intrinsic reward is immense. You will be providing essential support that enables people to live with dignity and comfort. It’s a career built on kindness and practical skill, offering job satisfaction that is hard to match in other sectors.

Frequently Asked Questions: Care Jobs in Liverpool
Do I need experience to become a Care Assistant or Support Worker in Liverpool?
While previous experience in care is highly valued and can lead to higher pay, it is not always essential. Many of our clients are looking for candidates with the right attitude – compassion, patience, and a genuine desire to help others. We can help place you in a role where you will receive full induction training and support. If you're considering a career change, this could be your entry point.
What is the difference between a Care Assistant and a Support Worker?
The terms are often used interchangeably, but there can be subtle differences. A Care Assistant typically focuses more on physical personal care tasks (helping with washing, dressing, meals) often in residential care homes or for the elderly. A Support Worker may work more with individuals with learning disabilities, mental health needs, or in supported living, focusing on enabling independence, social activities, and emotional support. In practice, many roles involve a blend of both.
What checks do I need to work in care?
You will need an enhanced DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check, which is a criminal record check for roles working with vulnerable adults. We can process this for you upon registration. You will also need proof of your right to work in the UK (e.g., passport), and usually two professional or character references. We guide you through every step.
Are the shifts flexible? Can I work around other commitments?
Absolutely. One of the key benefits of working with an agency like ours is flexibility. We have clients needing staff for early mornings (7am starts), late finishes, long days, nights, and weekends. You can discuss your availability with your consultant, and we will match you with shifts that suit your schedule, whether you're looking for full-time hours or part-time work around other commitments.
Is there career progression from a temporary care role?
Yes, very much so. Temporary roles are an excellent way to gain experience in different care settings. Many of our clients use temporary assignments as a 'working interview' and offer permanent contracts to staff who perform well and fit their team culture. Furthermore, the experience you gain can be a stepping stone to roles such as Senior Care Assistant, Team Leader, or into nurse training.
How quickly can I start after applying?
For immediate start roles, the process can be very fast. Once we have your initial details, we can often arrange a client interview within a few days. After a successful interview and once your compliance checks are initiated, you could be starting work within a week. We prioritise urgent vacancies, so if you're ready to work, we will work quickly to place you.
