• Caring, kind, understanding and calm
• Able to deal with, and defuse, challenging situations
• Energetic and outgoing, with a positive, can‑do attitude
• A great listener and communicator

You’ll put people at the heart of everything you do. If you haven’t worked in the care sector before, we’ll help you feel right at home from the start with our induction, buddy and ongoing training programmes.
