If you’re passionate about making a real difference in people’s lives and are looking for flexibility in your career, agency care work could be the perfect fit for you.
At Prestige Nursing & Care, we offer rewarding opportunities for dedicated carers who want to deliver high-quality care while enjoying the freedom to choose shifts that work around their personal lives.
Whether you’re seeking part-time hours, full-time roles, or just a few extra shifts, working as an agency carer provides the flexibility, support, and professional development to help you thrive.
What is agency care work?
Agency care work is a flexible employment option ideal for those seeking a rewarding role without the commitment of fixed hours. While working at a care assistant agency, you aren’t tied to a traditional contract, which allows you to choose shifts that suit your schedule. Depending on the agency, this may mean working on a zero-hours contract or as a temporary worker.
At Prestige Nursing & Care, we ensure that you receive the support and guidance needed to find work that fits your availability. This gives you control over your work-life balance while you make a difference in people’s lives. Our branches have a wide variety of hours and rotas which means it’s possible to find shifts that fit in with your life situation, whether you want a full time role or are just looking for a few hours a week.
The benefits of agency care work
At Prestige Nursing & Care, we understand the importance of providing a supportive and flexible environment for our carers. Working with us as an agency carer means you have the freedom to choose shifts that suit your lifestyle, whether you’re looking for part-time hours, evening shifts, or more full-time opportunities.
All our carers are connected to a local branch with a dedicated team ready to help you every step of the way. From your induction and uniform to arranging your work schedule, your branch team — including your Branch Manager, Care Coordinator, and fellow carers — is there to ensure you feel supported and confident in your role.
Here’s how we support you:
- Flexible working hours to fit your life
- Ongoing training and development opportunities
- Dedicated branch teams for local support
- Competitive pay and benefits packages
- A professional and welcoming environment to help you thrive in your career
Our goal is to help you bring the best care to our clients, making them feel safe, supported, and cared for every day.
What qualifications does a care worker need?
At Prestige Nursing & Care, we believe that the most important qualities in an agency care worker are compassion, empathy, and a genuine desire to support individuals in living as independently and comfortably as possible. While kindness, patience, and strong communication skills are essential, we also require a few formal qualifications to ensure the highest standards of care:
- A good standard of written and spoken English
- The right to work in the UK
- Clear police, occupational health, and reference checks
- Strong professional and personal references
- Six months of professional care experience in a healthcare or care setting, such as a domiciliary carer, care assistant, homecare worker, support worker, or healthcare assistant.
If you’re new to care but eager to begin your career, we offer training programs that lead to a Care Certificate for certain roles. Contact your nearest local branch to learn more about these opportunities and how to get started.
