Care Worker - Full and Part Time hours available

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

You’ll provide high-quality, person-centred support to older adults, helping them live with dignity, independence and confidence. That means:

• 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. If that appeals to you, we'd love to hear from you.

We also offer you a range of benefits that you would expect from an organisation that support others.

We even have access to a care concierge service to assist you with life's challenges, providing invaluable support when you need it most.

But we also know that your training and development is i

mportant to you, and as well as a contribution to your professional membership fees, we are keen to support you in making the right steps to learn, grow and develop in ways that are right for you.
