Older people in our care deserve support that's consistent, respectful and genuinely person-centred. If you want to be part of a team that takes that seriously, we'd love to hear from you.
The role involves providing high-quality, person-centred support to older adults, helping them live with dignity, independence and confidence. This includes:
- Supporting people with personal care, mobility, nutrition and daily living
- Responding to changing needs with calm, practical kindness
- Keeping accurate records and contributing to care plans
- Helping create an environment that feels safe, welcoming and like home
About you: No previous care experience is needed. We’re looking for someone who is kind, dependable and genuinely motivated to support older people well. You’ll communicate clearly and warmly, work positively with others and treat every person with dignity and respect. Basic IT confidence is needed for records and mandatory e-learning. We’ll give you all the training you need to get started and to grow. An SVQ Level 3 in Social Care is a bonus but not essential, and we’ll support you to work towards it. SSSC registration and PVG Scheme membership are required (or willingness to obtain both).
What you’ll get from us: A team that values what you do, the chance to grow your skills in a structured way, and the knowledge that the work you do every day genuinely improves someone’s life. You'll be joining a team that cares about doing things right. We also offer a range of benefits including access to exclusive retail and leisure discounts through our rewards scheme and the Blue Light Discount card. We ensure that your future and that of your loved ones is secured with a generous contributory pension plan and death in service benefit. Balancing work and family is made easier with our suite of enhanced family friendly policies and your health and wellness are prioritised with access to our health cash plan, giving you cash back for a wide range of health treatments. We even have access to a care concierge service to assist you with life's challenges, providing invaluable support when you need it most. We are keen to support you in making the right steps to learn, grow and develop in ways that are right for you.
