Job description

Looking for a job where you can genuinely make a difference?

We’re looking for kind, compassionate and enthusiastic people to join #TeamBaxterView as Complex Care Practitioners, supporting six individuals to live happy, independent and fulfilling lives in their own homes.

Up to 39 hours per week

Full training and support provided you need to develop into a confident Complex Care Practitioner.

Meet the people you’ll support

We support people with a range of needs, including learning disabilities, to live as independently as possible.

One lady we support loves being out and about — whether that’s shopping, coffee, dinner or heading to her clubs. She’s sociable, kind, funny and loves a bit of banter with her team. She also enjoys having her hair and make-up done every day.

One of the gentlemen we support is a huge football fan. He loves following his team, going to matches, enjoying a pint and having a bet on the football. He likes keeping busy, getting out into the community and chatting to people along the way — and he always looks forward to a holiday!

One day you might be supporting someone to get out for a coffee, go shopping or attend their favourite club. Another day could involve helping someone manage their home, enjoy their hobbies, meet friends or head out to watch their football team.

No two people are the same — and no two days are the same. This is an exciting time to join our team as we prepare to welcome a new individual to Baxter View.

Life skills count too

You’ll need to be comfortable working independently and, with the right training and support, be willing to develop your confidence in supporting people whose behaviour may sometimes be challenging.

We want individuals who are passionate about the people we support having the same opportunities, choices and experiences as everyone else.

Shift Patterns

We provide dedicated around the clock support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so our shift patterns do involve early mornings, evenings, weekends and public holidays and sleepovers. We have a mixture of short and long shifts.

You’ll also receive:

• Funded qualifications & ongoing career development


• SSSC registration and PVG fees paid


• Up to £500 towards driving lessons


• No uniform - wear your own clothes


• Employee discounts, including shopping, cinema, holidays & gyms


• 24/7 employee support


• Long-service awards & colleague referral bonuses

Could this be you?

You don't need a perfect CV, you don't need years of experience - You just need the right attitude, a caring nature and a willingness to learn.

Come and join #TeamBaxterView.

Successful candidates will be required to join the Protection of Vulnerable Groups Scheme and be committed to working towards an SVQ in Social Services and Healthcare with the support from our Training Academy.

Please note - If you have spent more than 12 months out with the UK (excluding France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania or Spain) within the last 10 years while over the age of 18, you will be asked to provide a criminal record certificate from the relevant government/police authority as part of our pre-employment checks.

If you’re successful in joining our team, we will need you to register with the SSSC within 3 months of starting your employment with us.

Cornerstone welcomes applications from all sections of the community and actively seeks to increase the diversity of our workforce.
