We currently have roles available in the S35, S13, and S6 area. This is for both days and waking nights.

Please note that due to a high-volume female-only service user population and the intimate nature of associated role responsibilities, gender is considered to be a genuine occupational requirement for the majority of our care worker roles (which are available to female applicants only) as permitted under the Equality Act 2010.

We have a limited number of opportunities for male care workers and reserve the right to close the recruitment process early where the number of applications exceeds our requirements.
