A Career That Actually Matters

If you are looking for carer jobs near you that offer more than just a pay cheque, Living Plus Care Services is the place to build your career. We provide domiciliary care and supported living services across Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire, helping people live independently in their own homes with dignity, respect, and choice.

Every day, our care assistants, support workers, and live-in carers make a real, measurable difference to the lives of the people they support. From helping someone get dressed in the morning to supporting a person with complex needs to live the life they choose, no two days are the same and every day matters.

We are not a faceless national chain. We are a local care provider where every member of our team is known, valued, and supported. When you join Living Plus, you join a family.

What Sets Living Plus Apart From Other Care Employers

The care sector has many employers, but not all care companies are the same. Here is what makes Living Plus Care Services different from other domiciliary care and home care providers.

  • Guaranteed Hours and Consistent Work

    Unlike many home care providers that offer zero-hours contracts with unpredictable schedules, Living Plus provides guaranteed hours so you can plan your life with confidence. We believe our carers deserve the same stability they provide to the people they support.

  • Small, Consistent Care Teams

    We match our carers with the same clients wherever possible. This means you build genuine relationships with the people you support, which is better for them and more rewarding for you. You are not sent to a different stranger's home every shift.

  • Full Training From Day One

    Every new team member completes the Care Certificate, comprehensive induction training, and role-specific modules before going out on their own. We invest in your development because well-trained carers deliver better care and feel more confident in their role.

  • Real Career Progression

    We promote from within wherever possible. Many of our senior carers, team leaders, and coordinators started as care assistants with no previous experience. If you want to grow your career in health and social care, we will help you get there.

  • 24/7 On-Call Support

    You are never alone. Our management team provides round the clock on-call support so that if you ever need guidance, reassurance, or help during a shift, there is always someone at the end of the phone.

  • Mileage and Travel Time Paid

    We pay mileage between client visits and factor travel time into your schedule. You should not be out of pocket for doing your job, and you should not be rushed between visits.

Our Values

What Guides Everything We Do

Our values are not just words on a wall. They shape every decision we make, every care plan we write, and every interaction we have with the people we support and the team members who deliver that support.

  • Person-Centred

    Every person we support is an individual with their own preferences, routines, and goals. We listen first, then build care around what matters most to them.

  • Dignity and Respect

    We treat every person, whether a client, family member, or colleague, with genuine dignity and respect. This is non-negotiable.

  • Excellence

    We aim for Outstanding in everything we do. From our CQC compliance to our daily care delivery, good enough is never good enough.

  • Transparency

    We are open and honest about what we can and cannot do. We communicate clearly, act with integrity, and never make promises we cannot keep.

  • Teamwork

    Great care is delivered by great teams. We support each other, share knowledge, celebrate successes, and tackle challenges together.

  • Continuous Improvement

    We never stop learning. We actively seek feedback, invest in training, and continuously look for ways to do things better.

Who We Are Looking For

You do not need previous care experience to join Living Plus Care Services. We can teach you the skills, but we cannot teach the right attitude. If you have the following qualities, we want to hear from you.

  • A genuine desire to help others and make a positive difference in people's lives
  • Kindness, patience, and empathy as natural character traits
  • Reliability and commitment: the people we support depend on you
  • Good communication skills and the ability to listen
  • A willingness to learn and develop new skills
  • Respect for people's privacy, dignity, and choices
  • A positive, can-do attitude even when things are challenging

No Experience? No Problem

Many of our best carers joined us with no previous care experience at all. We provide full training through our comprehensive induction programme and the Care Certificate. What matters most is who you are as a person. If you are kind, reliable, and genuinely want to help others, we will give you everything you need to succeed.

  • "I joined Living Plus with absolutely no care experience, and they gave me everything I needed to succeed. The training was thorough, my mentor was brilliant, and within six months I felt confident going into any visit. Now I am a senior carer helping to train new starters myself."
    SarahSenior Care Assistant, Hatfield
  • "What I love most about working here is the consistency. I see the same clients every week, so I really get to know them. They are not just names on a rota; they become part of your life. The office team are always supportive, and I know I can call the on-call manager any time if I need help."
    JamesCare Assistant, Peterborough
  • "I was nervous about going into care because I had never done anything like it before. But the team at Living Plus made me feel welcome from day one. The induction was really well structured, and they did not just throw me in at the deep end. I shadowed experienced carers for over a week before my first solo visit. I would recommend this company to anyone."
