At Beehive Care & Training Group Ltd, we believe everyone deserves access to high-quality care—whether they live in a town, a remote village, or at the end of a winding country lane. We’re committed to delivering compassionate, person-centred support across rural Devon, ensuring no one is left without the care they need.

About the Role – More Than Care, It’s the Journey Too

As a Rural Community Carer, you’ll provide high-quality care in people’s homes while travelling through some of Devon’s most beautiful countryside. Driving is a key part of this role, and we’re looking for carers who are confident navigating country lanes:

In early mornings, evenings, and at night
In all weather conditions—from frosty lanes to summer storms
Across remote rural locations where your visit truly makes the difference

What You’ll Be Doing

Providing person-centred care in customers’ homes—supporting with personal care, medication, meals, and mobility
Offering companionship and reassurance to customers and their families
Promoting independence, dignity, and well-being in every visit
Keeping accurate records of care delivered
Driving safely to and from appointments across rural routes, ensuring you arrive reliably and ready to support

Travel expenses details:

45p per mile

Does the job role include personal care?: Yes

Working Patterns:

Our care calls typically run between 7am and 10pm, so flexibility across these times is essential. You’ll also be required to work alternate weekends as part of your contracted role.

This is a perfect opportunity for someone who loves the open road and is passionate about supporting people in their local communities.

Flexibility to work shifts between 7am–10pm (including alternate weekends)
