Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility. You must recognize signs of abuse, harm, or neglect and know the procedures for reporting concerns. Attendance at safeguarding training and the ability to seek advice and escalate concerns are required.

Full training will be provided, offering an opportunity to learn new skills. In return, you will have access to a variety of benefits supporting your well-being and career development, including:

• Hourly rate based on experience and qualifications.
• Paid Enhanced DBS/PVG.
• Free uniform.
• Nutritious meal during shifts of eight hours or more.
• Company pension scheme.
• 28 days' annual leave, including bank holidays.
• Group life assurance cover.
• Wagestream for financial wellbeing and flexible pay access.
• Award-winning learning and development opportunities with support for qualifications.
• GP online service for 24/7 consultations, available to you and your children under 16.
• Opportunities to learn from experienced colleagues as part of a dedicated team.
• Colleague discounts at over 1600 high street stores.
• Free access to an Employee Assistance Programme for physical, mental, and financial support.
• Recognition schemes such as 'Kindness in Care' and Long Service Awards.
• Referral scheme offering up to £1000 per successful referral, depending on the role.

We are committed to creating an inclusive workforce that reflects the communities we serve. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and aim for a quick onboarding process from offer to start date.
