With a starting hourly rate of £12.75 per hour, your training will be completed in our training room.

Once you complete your probationary period you start your Level 2 or 3 NVQ qualification and when you achieve that your pay goes up to £13.10

If you already hold your NVQ level 2 or higher in Health & Social care, or once you achieve this your pay goes up to £13.50

We look forward to meeting you at interview.
