More Than a Job in Care
Working in home care gives you the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in someone’s life every day.
At S&P Care, you will help people remain safe, comfortable and independent in the place they know best – their own home. You may support someone with their personal care, medication, meals, mobility or daily routines. Just as importantly, you will provide companionship, reassurance and a familiar face they can trust.
It is responsible and rewarding work. You will not do it alone. From induction and shadowing to supervision, practical training and support in the field, we will help you develop the confidence and skills you need to provide excellent care.
Why Join S&P Care?
Work that matters
Help people maintain their independence, wellbeing and connection with their community.
Support when you need it
Receive guidance from experienced managers, supervisors and clinical leaders – both while you settle into your role and throughout your career with us.
Training that builds confidence
Benefit from structured induction, shadowing, practical training, client-specific preparation and ongoing professional development.
Opportunities to progress
Develop your knowledge, gain recognised qualifications and prepare for senior care, supervisory or leadership opportunities.
Be valued as an individual
Join a diverse team where people are treated with respect, encouraged to contribute and recognised for the difference they make.
The S&P Care Experience
S&P Care is a family-run, nurse-led home care provider supporting people across Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.
Our founders brought together their extensive healthcare experience and a shared belief that everyone deserves to live their best life. That belief shapes both the care we provide and how we support the people who work with us.
We are proud to be CQC-rated Good and to have been recognised as a Top 20 Home Care Provider in Southeast England (2024 and 2025).
Most importantly, we want S&P Care to be a place where good people can do meaningful work, continue learning and feel part of a supportive team.
Our Values
Human
We recognise the individuality, dignity and contribution of every client and every member of our team.
Integrity
We are honest, responsible and committed to doing what is right – even when no one is watching.
Learning
We reflect, improve and support one another to develop our knowledge, skills and confidence.
Passion
We bring energy, commitment and determination to making a positive difference.
Fun
We believe serious and responsible work can still be filled with warmth, friendship and moments of joy.
What Does a Care Professional Do?
As an S&P Care Professional, you will visit people in their own homes and provide support tailored to their individual needs.
Your work may include:
- Providing personal care respectfully and sensitively
- Supporting people with prescribed medication
- Preparing meals and encouraging good nutrition and hydration
- Assisting with mobility and safe movement
- Offering companionship and emotional support
- Helping with household tasks and daily routines
- Supporting people to access their community
- Observing and reporting changes in someone’s wellbeing
- Completing accurate care records using a mobile device
- Communicating with colleagues, managers and other professionals
Home care also involves travelling between clients and working at the times people most need support. Depending on your agreed working pattern, this may include mornings, evenings and weekends.
You will need to be dependable, organised and comfortable working independently, while knowing when to ask for advice or report a concern.
