FAQs

• Do I need to be able to drive? A driving licence is useful for visiting multiple homes, but it is not essential for all routes.

• Is there a zero-hour contract? No, YES Care provides permanent contracts to ensure financial stability for their staff.

• What training will I receive? You will receive a full, free induction and work toward your Care Certificate and potential NVQs.

• What are the typical working hours? Shifts generally run from 7 am to 3 pm or 3 pm to 10 pm.

• Do I have to work every weekend? No, you are only required to work alternating weekends.

Expert Analysis

The £13/hour rate is highly competitive for the Merseyside care sector in 2026. The most significant benefit here is the “permanent contract” status, which is rare in home care and offers much better mortgage and credit viability than typical agency work. The 30p mileage rate helps offset rising fuel costs for mobile workers.

Location & Logistics Guide

YES Care operates throughout the Liverpool City Region and the Borough of Sefton. Logistics depend on the “patch” assigned; workers in Maghull or Southport will rely more heavily on vehicles, while those in Liverpool North/South may have more walkable clusters. 24/7 support ensures safety during evening shifts.
