Your positive energy, natural ability to connect with people, and strong communication skills—both listening and instructing—are vital. Always communicate considerately and kindly with residents and colleagues.

Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility. You should be able to recognize signs of possible abuse, harm, or neglect and know the appropriate actions to take. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training relevant to their role and seek advice or escalate concerns when necessary.

We offer full training and a variety of benefits to support your well-being and career development, including:

• Paid Enhanced DBS/PVG
• Free uniform
• Competitive hourly rate based on experience and qualifications
• Company pension scheme
• 28 days annual leave including bank holidays

• Learning and development opportunities with support for qualifications
• GP online service for 24/7 consultations
• Learning from experienced colleagues in a supportive team
• Colleague discounts at over 1600 high street stores
• Confidential Employee Assistance Programme for physical, mental, and financial support
