Flexible Summer Work | Part-Time and Bank Contracts Available

Turn your summer break into valuable experience for your future career.

Ocean Healthcare is recruiting students to join our care teams across Plymouth, Exeter and Torbay. This opportunity is particularly suited to students studying nursing, healthcare, education, psychology, social care or another related subject who want to gain practical experience while earning money over the summer.

You will support adults or children with additional and complex needs in their own homes and communities. This is not a traditional domiciliary care role involving short visits to multiple people. Many of our roles involve longer shifts supporting the same person, allowing you to build relationships and provide consistent, person-centred care.

What You Could Gain

Every care package is different, but your summer experience could include:

  • Working alongside experienced care and clinical teams

  • Supporting people with complex healthcare or additional needs

  • Developing your communication, judgement and confidence

  • Learning how person-centred care works in practice

  • Building relevant experience for your CV and future placements

  • Earning up to £800 per week, depending on your availability and shifts

You will always be fully briefed before joining a care package, so you understand the person’s needs, the support required and what will be expected of you.

Pay and Shifts

We offer:

  • Hourly pay from £13.50

  • The opportunity to earn up to £800 per week

  • Part-time and bank contracts

  • Day, evening, night and weekend shifts

  • Longer shifts that can be arranged around your summer availability

Available shifts vary depending on location and the needs of each person we support.

Paid Training and Support

You will receive a week of paid, face-to-face training delivered by our nurse-led clinical team and specialist trainers.

Depending on the people you support, training may cover areas such as:

  • Tracheostomy care

  • Ventilation support

  • BiPAP and CPAP

  • Enteral feeding

  • Medication support

  • Moving and handling

  • Safeguarding and person-centred care

Training is tailored to each individual care package. You will also receive ongoing guidance and support throughout your time with us, rather than being left to work things out alone.

Why Join Us?

We're not afraid to say we're a little bit old fashioned. We believe in treating people right, providing great quality care and being proud of what we do. When you work with us, you’re part of a supportive, professional and highly regarded team. Our philosophy is Live Happy Care Well. Check out OceanHealthcareUK on Facebook to find out more about us!

What You Will Need

  • The right to work in the UK

  • Good communication and reliability

  • Suitable references

  • The ability to travel to the people you support

  • Availability to complete the required training before starting work

Some roles may require previous care experience, a full UK driving licence or access to a vehicle. This will be discussed with you during the application process.
