Your positive energy, ability to communicate effectively, and considerate nature are key qualities. You should be comfortable listening and giving instructions, and always communicate with kindness and respect.

Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility. You should be able to recognize signs of abuse, harm, or neglect and know the appropriate steps to take if concerns arise. All colleagues will attend safeguarding training relevant to their role and undertake additional training as needed. You should feel confident in seeking advice and reporting concerns, including escalation if 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 inclusive of bank holidays
• Group life assurance cover
• Wagestream for financial wellbeing and flexible pay access
• Learning and development opportunities with qualifications

• Learning from experienced colleagues within an outstanding team
• Colleague discounts at over 1600 high street stores
• Confidential Employee Assistance Programme for physical, mental, and financial support
• Recognition schemes such as ‘Kindness in Care’ and Long Service Awards
