Why Join BelleVie in Cramlington / Whitley Bay?

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.

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.

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 – 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-knit self-managed teams make their own decisions about the people they support, with full peer backing.
• Qualifications – Want to earn qualifications like an NVQ? We’ll help you get there.
• Joining a community of change – Our vision is a society which values fulfilling careers in care, with all members of the care ecosystem supported through meaningful, reciprocal relationships.

What are the career prospects?

We’ll support you in your growth & development every step of the way. We have Community Connectors and Thrive with BelleVie colleagues who started their careers with us as care workers, many of whom came to us with no care experience.

Would I need to do personal care?

Personal care is part of the role, but you would get plenty of training. If you’d like to find out more about what personal care is you can visit our post here

Do I need my own car?

Yes, you will require your own, or access to a car that is MOT’d and Insured for business use.

How much driving will I be required to do?

That will depend on the team you join, but as a rule we try to plan our rota’s so that there isn’t more than a 30 minutes drive between each of the people we support. We pay for your time and mileage whilst driving between visits.

What is the recruitment process?

Our recruitment process involves a short conversation with either our Recruitment Lead or one of our regional Development Coaches, followed by an online video workshop with a Development Coach. You will need to complete a short 5 minute values survey online, ideally before the workshop. The final stage would be a shadow shift, shadowing one of our current Wellbeing Support Workers, so you have a chance to see if the actual role is a good fit for you.
