Why Flexible Care Work Could Be the Right Move for You

Working in care isn’t just a job, it’s a vocation. But for many Healthcare Assistants, Support Workers, and Nurses, traditional rotas and rigid schedules can make life harder, not easier. That’s where flexible agency work with Affinity Care UK comes in.

1. Build a Schedule That Works for You

Whether you’re a parent juggling school runs, a student gaining hands-on experience, or simply someone who values their time, flexible shifts let you control your calendar. With Affinity Care UK, you choose when and where you work, so your role fits around your life, not the other way around.

2. A Wide Range of Placements

We partner with care homes, nursing facilities, and supported living providers across the UK. That means you can gain exposure to various care settings, developing your skills while finding the environments where you feel most at home.

3. Fair Pay, Always

As a Living Wage Employer, we believe that good care deserves good compensation. You’ll always be paid fairly for your time and effort, with weekly payroll and clear communication on shift expectations.

4. Personal Support from a Local Team

Based in Bristol, our team isn’t just responsive, we’re accessible. We get to know every member of our team and work hard to make sure you feel supported, respected, and appreciated.

5. Make a Real Impact

Every shift you take on helps someone live with dignity, comfort, and independence. That’s the heart of what we do. And whether you’re helping an elderly person feel safe at night or supporting someone through recovery, your presence matters.

 

Flexible agency work isn’t just a stopgap, it’s a meaningful, sustainable way to work in care. If you’re ready to take control of your schedule while doing what you love, register with Affinity Care UK today.

Affinity Launch New App!

Working in care can be fast-paced, and that’s why having the right tools at your fingertips matters. At Affinity Care UK, we’ve introduced the Bee App to give you instant access to everything you need while on shift, from live schedules to timesheet-free check-ins.

Here’s how it can help.

Stay Organised with Real-Time Rosters

No more chasing emails or waiting for phone calls. With the app, you can view your confirmed assignments up to seven days in advance. You’ll see client names, shift times, mileage info, and uniform requirements all in one place.

Receive Booking Requests Instantly

You’ll get notified the moment a new shift becomes available, so whether you’re on the bus or in the staff room, you can respond quickly and secure extra hours on your terms.

Say Goodbye to Paper Timesheets

If your client uses Bee QR Codes, signing in and out is simple. Just scan the code at the home or facility using the app, and your attendance is automatically logged. It’s quick, contactless, and means one less form to fill in.

Keep Track of Everything in One App

Your inbox within the app keeps a record of all your upcoming and past assignments, new requests, and any amendments or cancellations. Plus, you can receive real-time notifications and updates from the Affinity team.

What If I Don’t Want to Use the App?

That’s absolutely fine. The app is a helpful tool, but it’s not mandatory. If you prefer using paper timesheets or working without digital tools, we completely respect that. Your comfort always comes first.

How to Get Started

  1. Head to your device’s app store.
  2. Download the Bee App.
  3. Log in with your Webroster details:
