Care workers often drop out late because the checks, shift pattern or pay were never made clear. This job description puts the role, the personal care duties, the first weeks of visits, the pre-employment checks, the training and the pay on eight pages, so strong applicants know what to expect before they apply.

The sample is from Hollybrook Services, a fictional home care and residential provider, advertising a role at £12.90 to £14.20 an hour with a paid induction. It shows a responsibility grid, a four-step checks flow and a pay policy. Replace the duties, rates, dates and contacts with your own.
