Why Join BelleVie?

Here at BelleVie Care, we are looking for people who know how a simple cuppa can warm the heart. That the power of a compliment can make someone’s day. By just holding a hand, teasing out a smile, or sharing a laugh can mean the world to someone who is alone or living with challenges you and I know nothing about.

It’s this compassion and hidden talent that you don’t think are worth putting on a cv, the parts of you that never really get to shine in your current job, the skills you don’t even know are perfect for care, that we seek out so we can ensure that the people we support can live their best lives at home.

We don’t just see the value in the expected, we see value in the things other people overlook, we see you for you.

If you’re someone whose warmth and kindness shines through, and who embraces their local community spirit we’d love to hear from you. Because, these are the things we value too. Be part of the community that values all of you. If you are interested in job satisfaction and a rewarding career making people smile and giving back to the community, please apply now!

Caring is a value and a vocation.

Find a career that values you.

What makes BelleVie Care different?

Yes, we provide the usual help around the home, personal care, companionship, transport, and more. But that’s where the similarities with other providers end

• Pay for all your hours – That includes travel, training, team meetings — not just time spent in someone’s home.
• No experience necessary – Whether you're brand new to care or have years behind you, we provide full, supportive training — and never rush you into the role. We hire people based on values, personality and attitude rather than experience
• Self managed teams – Our close-knot self-managed teams make their own decisions about the people they support, with full peer backing.
• Qualifications support – Want to earn qualifications like an NVQ? We’ll help you get there — and support other ways to build your skills too.
• Joining a community of change – We are committed to change. Our vision is a society which values fulfilling careers in care, so that every member of the care ecosystem is supported through meaningful, reciprocal relationships.
