I couldn’t have been happier working for Seren. My manager was amazing, and she has a human touch approach to everyone.

Before you apply

Questions we get asked
all the time.

Do I need experience in care?

No. A lot of our team joined with none at all, including several who are now team leaders and managers. You'll do the Care Certificate in your first few weeks, all paid, and shadow an experienced carer until you feel ready to work on your own.

Do I need a driving licence and a car?

Yes. Every community role needs you to have your own car, because you're travelling between people's homes and public transport rarely joins them up. We pay mileage at 40p per mile between visits, on top of your hourly rate.

What hours would I work?

Anything from 16 hours a week up to full time. Shifts are 7am to 3pm, 3pm to 11pm, or both. You’d work alternate weekends, which keeps it fair across the whole team. Tell us what you can commit to and we’ll build a round around it where we can.

What does the pay actually work out at?

Between £13.45 and £14.00 per care hour depending on the area, plus 40p per mile mileage and an enhanced rate on bank holidays. The rate is published on every vacancy rather than saying “competitive”.

Will I need a DBS check?

Yes, an enhanced DBS is a legal requirement for care work. We arrange it and cover the cost. Having something on your record doesn't automatically rule you out — it depends what it is and how long ago. Tell us early and we'll be straight with you.

Do I have to register with Social Care Wales?

Domiciliary care workers in Wales must register with Social Care Wales. You don't need to be registered before you apply — we'll guide you through it once you start, and you have time to complete it.

How long does it take to start?

Usually two to four weeks from applying, most of which is waiting on your DBS and references. We'll keep you updated rather than leaving you wondering.

Can you sponsor a visa?

No. We’re not able to offer sponsorship for any of these roles, so you’ll need existing right to work in the UK to apply.

Why are some roles for women only?

Where a role is advertised for female applicants, it’s because the person being supported needs intimate personal care and has asked for a female carer. That’s a genuine occupational requirement under Schedule 9, Part 1, Paragraph 1 of the Equality Act 2010. It’s marked clearly on any vacancy it applies to.

Can I apply if English isn't my first language?

Yes. Our team speaks a wide range of languages between them. You'll need enough English to follow care plans, record notes and speak with families confidently, but you don't need to be perfect.

Don't see the right role?

Send us your details anyway. New rounds come up constantly across South Wales, and we'll get in touch when something suits you.
