About you

You don’t need to have previous experience of working in social care, what’s important is that you are caring, a good communicator, patient, creative, able to work on your own initiative, show empathy and that you can also work as part of a team. Flexibility is important as you will work on a rota basis with a mix of shifts, including weekends and bank holidays.

We are looking for people who are kind-hearted, caring and compassionate; someone who has a natural way with people and who wants to make a difference to people’s lives in a positive way. 

Whether you are looking to start your career, begin a new one or change employers, we would love to hear from you. If you share our values, we want you to come and join our team!

No one will meet every single desired qualification. If your experience looks a little different from what we're saying and you think you can bring value to the role, we'd love to learn more about you!


About the role

You will be based in our short stay service, where we support older people at Elmhurst and adults with a learning disability at Woodbury. You will support people with everyday tasks, including supporting people to get out of bed and get dressed, support with eating meals, taking part in a range of activities and supporting people with bathing and other personal care needs.

Further information about the role can be found in the job description.


In return for your contribution we will support you throughout your career -

We provide a wide range of employee benefits, career development and lifestyle support services to ensure that you too feel supported, fulfilled and valued from day one of your employment with us.
