Hemel Hempstead | Field-Based | Full-Time If you know your P402 from your P45, can tell your AIB from your ACM, and take genuine pride in getting the details right… we’d like to hear from you! Asbestos surveying isn’t about racing around sites, ticking boxes and calling it a day. It’s about accuracy, professional judgement and knowing that the information you collect can make a real difference to people’s safety. At Lucion, our surveyors help clients understand asbestos risk, manage it properly and keep projects moving safely and compliantly. Around Hemel Hempstead you’ll work across a wide variety of buildings and projects where your expertise genuinely matters.

You’ll be out and about across Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire and the surrounding area, working on everything from commercial buildings and construction projects to public-sector estates and other client sites. Your attention to detail will directly support safer buildings, better decision-making and compliant project delivery. You’ll: Carry out all disciplines of asbestos surveying and inspection, including Management, Refurbishment and Demolition Surveys, plus asbestos in the ground.

Work in line with all relevant asbestos legislation and guidance, including HSG264, HSE requirements and construction regulations. Maintain your personal QHSE documentation and follow our internal assurance processes. Provide a professional, friendly service to clients, answering questions and offering clear advice and interpretation where needed. Communicate clearly with clients, colleagues and contractors — because good surveying is about more than collecting samples. Deliver accurate, consistent work without taking shortcuts. In short: reliable surveying, clear reporting, professional judgement and getting the important details right. Every. Single. Time.

You’ll ideally: Hold BOHS P402, an RSPH equivalent qualification, or a Certificate of Competence. Have a good working knowledge of HSG264 (The Survey Guide). Hold a full UK manual driving licence. Be based in or around Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire or the surrounding areas. ️ Be comfortable travelling across the local region and occasionally further afield.

Bring a strong work ethic and a practical, professional approach to site work. Be someone clients and colleagues can rely on. Basically, you know your stuff, you care about doing a good job and you don’t need someone standing over your shoulder to make sure it gets done properly.

Alongside a welcoming, professional environment and a role that genuinely matters, you’ll benefit from: £1,000 joining bonus for experienced Asbestos Surveyors and Analysts who apply directly to Lucion.

At Starling Homecare, we are building something special. We are a family run, independently owned homecare provider based in St Albans, on a continued mission to build the leading heart-first homecare service – the one families in Hertfordshire ask for by name when someone they love needs support at home. We were founded by a husband and wife team who previously founded and led an award-winning homecare service in Hertfordshire for over a decade. We know what great care looks like and how to build a team that delivers it. We started Starling Homecare to bring good old-fashioned values back into homecare – knowing your clients, turning up when you said you would, doing the small things properly, and treating people the way you would want your own family treated. We hold high standards because people deserve the best. We are CQC registered and provide visiting care across St Albans, Harpenden, Hemel Hempstead and Welwyn Hatfield, and live-in care across Hertfordshire. The Role We are looking for an experienced care professional to become our Registered Care Manager and lead our team through the next chapter of our growth. This is a role for someone who wants to build something, not just run it. As Registered Care Manager, you will: Hold the CQC registration for the service and be accountable for its quality, safety and compliance. Lead the day to day running of the service. Recruit, develop and inspire our team of care professionals. Carry out assessments in clients' homes and write and review care plans. Make sure every client receives exactly what we promised them. Work closely with the Managing Director on growth, recruitment and standards. Help shape our systems, processes and service quality as new offices open. What We Ask Of You We should be honest about what this role asks. We are an early-stage organisation, and at this stage everyone steps in when the service needs it. The people we support do not need us only between nine and five, and the Registered Care Manager sets the example. This role needs someone who is flexible, who understands the commitment involved in making sure our clients are properly supported, and who is prepared to roll their sleeves up while we grow. It is not for everyone, and we would rather say so now. We ask it because the reason we are here is bigger than the business. We want to make a real and lasting difference to health and social care in our local area, so that people get the care they deserve, at home, from people who genuinely care about them. Who We’re Looking For We welcome applications from experienced Registered Managers, and from confident Deputy Managers, Senior Supervisors or Senior Coordinators who are ready to step up. Applicants will need to complete the CQC Registered Manager application process. Essential: Leadership experience in domiciliary or homecare, including care coordination, assessments, care planning, compliance, staff management and quality assurance. A sound understanding of the CQC framework, safeguarding and person centred care. Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management for Adult Care, or Level 3 or 4 with a commitment to complete Level 5. Full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle. Strong digital literacy. Right to work in the UK. Desirable: Experience in a start-up or growing service. Training or assessing qualifications. In how you work, you are kind, professional and emotionally intelligent, calm under pressure and comfortable making decisions, and motivated, proactive and solution focused. What We Offer: £34,000 to £38,000 per year, depending on experience. Bonus potential. A senior role with real scope and a direct line to the owners of the business. The chance to shape a service rather than inherit one. Real opportunities to progress as new offices and services open. Tailored CPD, tools and modern systems. Company pension. On-site parking at our St Albans office. A kind, respectful and professional working culture rooted in family values. Employee Wellbeing Scheme Once you have completed your first six months with us, you will be invited to join our employee wellbeing scheme, paid for in full by Starling Homecare with no contribution from you.

Full Time, Permanent A premium home care service, and a team looked after to the same standard. Starling Homecare is a new, family run, independently owned homecare provider in St Albans, bringing good old-fashioned values back into care. We are building the service that families in Hertfordshire ask for by name – the carer who turns up when they said they would, knows the client by name and by habit, and does the small things properly. Our founders spent more than a decade building and running an award-winning homecare service in this county before starting Starling Homecare, and we hold high standards because people deserve the best. We believe the people who deliver that standard deserve it too. So, the wellbeing package we offer is not a discount card. It is a private GP when you need one, someone to talk to when you need that, and support for your health and your everyday life, paid for by us, in full. The Role You will work directly with the Registered Manager to shape how the service runs – the culture, the expectations and the standard of care people come to rely on. We are new, we are growing and we are in demand, which means real input, real responsibility and the space to do things properly. We are family run, so you will be supported from your first day, in a team that takes learning seriously and backs its people to develop. As Deputy Care Manager you will: Review care plans, risk assessments and audits, and support the care team to deliver them well. Solve problems, cover gaps and respond calmly to the unexpected. Get out into the community, building relationships and representing the service. Take your share of the on-call rota. Work with the Registered Manager on standards, culture and quality. What You Get Pay and progression: £28,000 to £32,000 a year, depending on experience. Mileage at the full HMRC approved rate of 55p per mile for management and office work in the community, using your own car. Where you cover care visits, mileage is paid at the care team rate. Company pension. Support towards your Level 5 in Leadership for Health and Social Care if you are working towards it. Real opportunities to progress as we expand across Hertfordshire (see below). Your wellbeing package, paid for in full, from six months: 24/7 on-demand private GP with video, phone and text appointments. Up to eight counselling sessions per issue each year with accredited Therapists. Unlimited digital physiotherapy. Confidential one to one life coaching. Menopause health support and online eye health screening. Digital gym with weekly live classes, and discounted membership at over 4,000 fitness centres. 24/7 legal and debt helplines. Over 1,500 savings and discounts on everyday shopping, refreshed weekly, plus cashback. Cinema tickets at up to 60% off. Free vehicle accident recovery. Complimentary will writing and storage. 24/7 pet health service with qualified Vets. Where This Role Can Go We are an expanding group. Demand for what we do is high, and we are planning continued expansion throughout Hertfordshire, with new offices to follow this one. If you want to be an excellent Deputy Care Manager and stay one, there is a proper long-term role here for you. If you have the ambition and the ability to go further, Registered Manager roles will open up as we grow, and we will back the people who want them with the support and development to get there. What We Ask Of You We should be honest. We are an early-stage organisation, and everyone steps in when the service needs it. The people we support do not need us only between nine and five, so there will be evenings and weekends when things do not go to plan and you will need to think on your feet and support your team. It is not for everyone, and we would rather say so now. We ask it because the reason we are here is bigger than the business – we want people in our local area to get the care they deserve, at home, from people who genuinely care about them. Who We’re Looking For Someone who stays calm when it gets busy, takes initiative rather than waiting to be told, supports their team while holding the standard, and cares about doing things properly. You are probably a Senior Coordinator, Supervisor or Deputy Manager in domiciliary care now, ready to step up into a service where your judgement counts. Essential: Leadership experience in homecare; A strong understanding of CQC standards and care delivery; Confidence with care plans, risk assessments and audits; Level 3 in Health and Social Care; Full UK driving licence and your own car; Willingness to take part in on call; Right to work in the UK. Desirable: Level 4 or 5 in Leadership for Health and Social Care, completed or in progress. This post is subject to an enhanced DBS check and satisfactory references.

The Whole Idea Somewhere in St Albans or Harpenden this morning, someone is waiting for a knock on the door. They have a routine that matters to them, a way they like their tea, a chair by the window they want to get to. The person who arrives will decide how the rest of their day feels. We started Starling Homecare so that person would be you; someone who turns up when they said they would, knows the client by name and by habit, does the small things properly, and treats people the way you would want your own mum or dad treated. We are a family owned, independently run, CQC registered homecare provider based in St Albans, founded by a husband and wife with more than a decade of running an award-winning homecare service in Hertfordshire. We know who delivers great care. It is not the office. It is the Carer at the door, and we built this company around you.

Uniform and PPE provided, and a company pension. If your week looks different, you are still very welcome – it is the same role on the Standard Rate, and the invitation to the £16.00 rate stays open if your availability changes later. The Work You will support people in their own homes with the things that let them stay there – getting up and ready for the day, meals, medication prompts, keeping the house the way they like it, getting out and about, and company. You will see the same clients regularly, so you know them and they know you. You will notice when something is not right and say so. Who We’re Looking For Experience is welcome and not required. We train you properly and you shadow experienced Carers before your first visit on your own. What we cannot train is who you are – kind, reliable and calm, someone who takes pride in doing things properly. You Will Need: A full UK driving licence and your own car. The right to work in the UK (we are unable to offer sponsorship or visa transfer). To live within easy reach of St Albans, Harpenden or Hemel Hempstead. Availability to work every other weekend. Beyond that, tell us what works for you and your life. Why People Stay: A small, close team where the directors know you by name. A named person in the office who answers when you call. Full training at no cost to you, with funded qualifications where available. Real opportunities to progress as we grow. A kind, respectful and professional culture rooted in family values. Looking After the People Who Look After Others After six months you join our wellbeing package – a 24/7 private GP service by video, phone or text, unlimited digital physiotherapy, up to eight counselling sessions per issue each year, life coaching, menopause support, a digital gym, 24/7 legal and debt helplines, over 1,500 everyday discounts, cashback, cinema tickets at up to 60% off, discounted gym membership, vehicle accident recovery, will writing and a 24/7 Vet helpline.
