Working at Routes means being part of something special. We're a team where heartfelt connections matter, where we're open with each other, and where every day brings meaningful moments. Here, you'll grow in an environment that truly empowers you to be your best - because that's what makes the real difference in the lives of those we support.

More about our HOME values

What it's like to be a professional carer

The connections you build

You'll get to know the people you support - their routines, their stories, what makes them laugh. Those relationships, seeing someone's face light up when you arrive, helping them stay in the home they love - that's what makes this job different from any other.

The meaningful moments

Some days it's helping someone get back on their feet after hospital. Some days it's sitting with a cup of tea and hearing stories about their grandchildren. Every day, you're helping someone live the life they want to live. That matters.

The challenges you overcome

Care work isn't always easy. Some visits are physically demanding. Some days are emotionally tough. You'll see people at vulnerable moments, and that can stay with you. But you won't be dealing with it alone - your team understands, and support is there when you need it.

The variety

No two days are exactly the same. You might be helping someone with their morning routine, supporting complex care needs, or enabling someone to get out to their local community. It keeps the work interesting and shows you just how much of a difference good care makes.
