Care worker recruitment

Being a carer is a challenging, but also highly rewarding role. 

We want to make sure the workforce delivering support are valued, well trained and have real opportunities to progress in a career in care.

There are a range of different care roles available.

What to expect from a career in care

In both care homes and home care roles you can gain qualifications, this includes qualifications through apprenticeships to undertake specialist training. You can also train towards delivering low-level health care tasks like pressure area care and insulin administration, through Blended Roles program. 

You can also expect:

• to be paid a fair and attractive wage; our intention is to peg the hourly rate against the Real Living Wage
• to be offered a contract with a commitment to the weekly hours that suit you
• paid sick leave and holiday leave
• innovative training and development including undertaking the Care Certificate  
• to become a named team member for some of the people you support
• to learn and use a range of low-level health tasks that allow you to work closely with district nurses
• opportunities to progress to more senior roles within the Living Well at Home service
• use your experience and expertise as a stepping-stone on to a qualification in nursing, social work or allied health care roles if that’s something you’re interested in
• to work closely with a range of professions in the local neighbourhood team to deliver good quality, person centred support to older people and to younger adults
• to, wherever possible, work in a small local patch where you will have the opportunity to get to know the people you support well
