Would you like some flexibility in your working hours? Would you like to have more Time to Care in one location – rather than often commuting? Or are you a naturally caring person and would like to start your career in Care?
We work to one common goal through our unique collection of Extra Care Schemes: to inspire vibrant community hubs that enrich our clients later lives by promoting a way of life that gives people as many opportunities as possible to remain mentally and physically active.
The Role
- No two days are the same and your responsibilities will range from helping clients to get up and ready for the day, from washing, bathing, toileting to helping with all the little things; the laundry, cleaning, shopping and cooking.
- Your role, according to the Care Plan that you’re providing, may also include providing specialist care and supporting our clients with more complex needs.
- You can work full time or part time – whichever hours suit you – although availability to work alternative weekends are important.
- Working variable hours may mean that your hours can change weekly, dependent on your rota. It might also mean that you may work within one of our other schemes from time to time.
- Please note that the business is open during bank holidays and so we would need you to work on some bank holidays. Any bank holidays that you do work will be added back into your accrued holiday and can be taken at another time.
