Working out of Erdington

The Erdington branch works from 704 Chester Road, Erdington, Birmingham B23 5TE, and is separately registered with the Care Quality Commission — rated Good. Its coordinator plans the rounds, and its registered manager is accountable for the care delivered from it.

Carers here are matched to a patch rather than sent wherever the rota has a gap. Travel time between calls is paid, and rotas go out a fortnight ahead so you can plan around them.

Districts this branch covers: Erdington, Sutton Coldfield, Kingstanding, Perry Barr, Castle Vale, Great Barr, Aston, Gravelly Hill, Stockland Green, Witton, Perry Common, Short Heath, Pype Hayes, Tyburn, Wylde Green, Boldmere, New Oscott, Walmley, Minworth, Streetly, Four Oaks, Mere Green.

About the Erdington branch

What you get

Why carers stay with us.

Continuity of care for a client is continuity of employment for a carer, seen from the other side of the front door. That is why we spend money on the things below rather than on recruitment adverts to replace people who left.

Pay

Travel time is paid

You are paid for the time between calls, not just the time inside them, plus 45p per mile. It costs us more and it is the whole reason our rounds stay stable.

Rotas

Published two weeks ahead

You can plan childcare, a second job, or a Tuesday evening. Changes are agreed with you rather than texted at you.

Training

Funded, not "supported"

Care Certificate, NVQ Levels 2 to 5 and clinical competencies — all paid for by us, completed in paid time.

Support

Someone answers at 3am

The same on-call line our clients use is there for carers. You are never alone in a house with a problem you cannot solve.

Progression

Coordinators come from the round

Most of our coordinators and several branch managers started as carers. We promote from the round wherever we can.

Extras

£250 refer-a-friend

Blue Light Card eligibility, 28 days holiday including bank holidays, workplace pension and a paid DBS.

How applying works

Five steps, and we tell you where you are.

Apply online — about five minutes
Four short steps: about you, your eligibility, your availability and anything you want to tell us. A CV is welcome but not required.
We respond within two working days
Including when the answer is no. Being left in silence is the most common complaint about care recruitment and it is entirely avoidable.
A phone conversation
Fifteen minutes with the recruiter about what you are looking for, what hours suit and what the round would involve.
Interview at your branch
Face to face, at the office you would work from, with the coordinator who would build your rota.
Compliance, then shadow shifts
Enhanced DBS (we pay), references and right-to-work checks, then paid induction and shadow shifts before you work alone.
