Previous experience in care is welcome but not essential. We are equally interested in people with the right values, a willingness to learn and a genuine desire to support others.

You will hold, or be willing to work towards, an SVQ Level 3 in Social Services and Healthcare. This role requires membership of the PVG Scheme and registration with the SSSC.
