About the company

3 Circles Care opened for business in June 2019. During the last 5 years we are fortunate to have built a dedicated, hardworking, closely knit team of Care Assistants, but we need more of them! Every day is different when you work in Care, but one thing that remains the same is the commitment and dedication of our staff. Ensuring that our service users and their families feel safe, respected, and confident in the quality of care provided is all in a day’s work.

However, this is only possible when our carers feel valued and supported themselves. We listen to our staff and always try to implement any suggestions which will make their lives better and easier and improve the level of service which we offer. We are therefore always looking for people to join us; people who are as passionate as we are in helping people to live their lives to their full potential.

The owner and RI has a very hands-on approach; she makes sure that she knows each single member of staff personally; their likes, dislikes, troubles, and tribulations. She is always there to discuss any issues you may have.

Similarly, she knows each client personally too; so knows their likes, dislikes, and difficulties.

Benefits

• Competitive salary;
• Pension scheme;
• Free uniform;
• Free eye tests (provided that you use our preferred optician);
• Free ongoing training;
• Paid travel time at your agreed hourly rate NOT minimum wage;
• Mileage at £0.35 per mile;
• Annual MOT paid for by the company for drivers;
• Free DBS;
• Social Care Wales registration fee paid by the company;
• Blue Light card paid for by the company;
• Ten free counselling sessions for staff who are struggling with mental health or other issues;
• Enhanced pay for Bank and Public Holidays;
• Christmas gift/party;
• £500 “refer a friend” bonus;
• 28 days’ paid holiday per annum (pro-rated);
• Personal first aid kit;
• Thermal coffee mug;
• Pocket torch;
• Personal alarm;
• Pocket ashtray for smokers;
• Full PPE; and
• The opportunity to build a career.
