Job description

Overview

BelleVie Care - we're seeking extra special Care Workers to support people to live well at home. We are thrilled to be recognised as winners at the 2024 Home Care Awards with The Grand Prix Award for the best homecare provider, Best Palliative / End-of-life Care, Best for Innovative Technology & Best for Team Support (staff wellbeing). All made possible by our wonderful support worker teams, which we would love for you to join!

Please note

We welcome people with no previous care experience, FULL training will be provided. You must be able to drive and have access to your own car. You must already have the right to work in the UK, we don't provide support with that. We recruit colleagues local to our teams, to support their local communities, so we can't accommodate relocation. Please ensure that you live within approximately 10-15 miles of our Hexham team.

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. Bring your whole self to work #Belleviecare
