We're a friendly bunch and work exceptionally hard to support and champion our members and the wider homecare sector. If you're interested in helping us do this you can view any current vacancies below. Please note we are not currently looking for third party support with recruitment.
Our offices are in Waterloo, London, just a few minutes from the station.
There are lots of reasons to join us, not least our excellent Staff Benefits package:
Staff Benefits
As an employee of the Homecare Association, you will have access to the following benefits:
Annual Leave
Staff are entitled to 28 days annual leave. Staff may be required to take 3 of these days over the Christmas holiday period if the offices are closed. These entitlements are in addition to all public Bank Holidays in England. Annual leave and bank holiday entitlement for part-time staff and those on fixed-term contracts are on a pro rata basis.
Occupational Sick Pay Scheme
Upon successful completion of probation, staff are entitled to occupational sick pay calculated on an incremental allowance based on length of service. For staff recruited after 1 July 2022, the entitlement is:
- Less than 6 months: 2 weeks full pay
- 6-12 months: 2 weeks full pay, 2 weeks half pay
- 12-36 months: 4 weeks full pay, 4 weeks half pay
- Over 36 months: 8 weeks full pay, 8 weeks half pay
Pension Scheme
New employees will be automatically enrolled into the pension scheme. Employees are required to make a 3% contribution to the scheme and the Association will contribute 7% of your total pay. Employees can contribute more if they wish, via deduction from net salary net of basic rate of tax, which is then credited in full by Royal London. You will have the right to opt-out of the pension scheme at enrolment or leave the scheme (suspend contributions) in future once enrolled if you wish, but in both instances, you will forego the employer contribution as well as not contribute yourself.
Death in Service Insurance
In the unfortunate event of your death while employed by the Homecare Association the scheme will make a payment to a nominated beneficiary(s) of 4 times your salary.
Employee Assistance Programme
Telephone support is available to employees 24/7 for issues they may be facing, such as work-related stress, depression, relationship issues, legal concerns, coping with change, parenting issues, financial concerns, and more. Training and guidance are also available on topics that relate to employee well-being.
Season Ticket Loans
Where appropriate, staff may request a season ticket loan which is repayable over the duration of the season ticket. More information is available on request.
We're an equal opportunities employer, committed to ensuring that the talents and resources of all employees are utilised to the full. It is our objective that there shall be no discrimination towards applicants or employees for any reason of race or ethnic origin, creed, colour, religion, political affiliation, disability or impairments, marital status, parenthood, sexual gender, sexual orientation or offending background.
