Carer careers
Pick the days that fit your week — we'll do the rest.
Noval Care is a small, name-known Somerset agency. If you're a nurse, HCA, support worker or home-care worker — or you're ready to train as one — we'd like to hear from you. Apply online below and we'll come back to you inside two working days.
Why work with us
Five things we promise that other agencies often don't.
Weekly pay, on the dot
We pay every Friday for the previous week. No 28-day cycles, no chasing the office.
A real office team that knows your name
When you ring, you reach Mariam or one of the team — not a call centre. We know your shift patterns, your travel range and what you don't want to do.
Free DBS, training and uniform
We pay for your enhanced DBS, your mandatory training, and a uniform on joining. You start work without out-of-pocket costs.
Flexible to your week — not ours
Tell us the shifts you want, including school-run hours, weekend-only or nights. We match what we've got to what fits.
Settings that suit your skills
We work with residential, nursing, EMI, hospital, learning-disability and mental-health units — so you can stay in the setting you're trained for, not be parachuted somewhere unfamiliar.
A path to permanent if you want it
Many of our long-term carers started on bank shifts and moved to permanent contracts with us or with a placement they enjoyed. We help with both routes.
