As a Community Care Assistant, you are much more than a carer. You are a trusted presence, a source of reassurance, and a key part of each individual’s daily life.
Working within our Care Delivery team, you will provide tailored support that reflects the unique needs, preferences, and routines of every service user.
Care Assistants are recruited with a focus on working close to where you live. During onboarding, we gather detailed information about your:
This allows us to align each Care Assistant with the most appropriate local branch from the outset.
Your role focuses on delivering compassionate, practical, and dignified care within the community. This includes:
Above all, your work enables people to remain independent, confident, and secure in the place they know best, their own home.
We believe exceptional care starts with well-supported teams. As a Community Care Assistant at Premier Community, you will receive access to an innovative training programme designed to equip you with the skills, confidence, and knowledge needed to deliver professional care.
After a successful interview, you will be invited to commence your online training modules, which cover the core principles of caring and information regarding our policy and procedures.
The online training modules complements our hands-on training, which takes place in our fully equipped training room at our Head Office based in Mansfield.
Whether you are experienced in care or new to the sector, our comprehensive onboarding and ongoing support ensure you never feel alone.
You will be part of a close-knit, values-driven team that champions respect, dignity, and kindness, not only for our service users, but for each other.
We generally work around two shift patterns: Our morning shift operates from 6.45am-2.30pm, and our afternoon shifts run from 3.30pm-10.30pm in the evening.
Although we usually ask for a mixture of shift availability, we understand that everyone’s circumstances are different. That’s why we work with you to build a contract that fits your lifestyle, whether you’re looking for full-time, part-time, or bank work.
We offer an industry-leading pay structure, with competitive hourly rates starting from £14.85 per hour* (as of December 2025) and additional enhancements for unsocial hours and bank holidays, alongside a range of employee benefits and salary protections.
We welcome applicants with experience in care settings such as nursing homes, residential care, or support work. We also encourage applications from those new to care, as your life experience, empathy, and willingness to learn are just as valuable.
If you are compassionate, reliable, and passionate about helping others live independently, a career as a Community Care Assistant with Premier Community could be the perfect fit.

As an Expert by Experience, I provide knowledge and support to new starters that have joined our team.
