  • Domestic Care Worker

    We need to recruit several caring, reliable people to help older people living in Northamptonshire look after their homes and stay independent.  If you enjoy housework and keeping busy this is a rewarding job where you know you are making a difference.

Having a reliable, caring person to help with domestic cleaning makes a huge difference to older people who may have a health condition that restricts what they can do.  Not all our clients are in poor health or disabled but they all benefit from the reassurance of knowing that they can rely on Age UK Northamptonshire.  PPE will be supplied for this role.
