About the role
If you want your career to involve doing something that people genuinely appreciate, whether you are an experienced carer or are looking to start a new career, we would love to hear from you.
We are currently looking for care workers to join us to work in Popple Well Springs Extra Care scheme, Tadcaster. Working in care is far more than just a job. It is interaction, communication and relationship building. The enjoyment of activities, sharing of stories and memories, all whilst learning from the vast life experience of the people you support.
As a Care and Support Worker, no two days are the same. You will provide personal care, which is typically long‑term assistance to people living in their own home. Your role will be to deliver care and support whilst continuing to encourage people to remain independent and in control of their own well‑being. Working as part of a small, supportive team, you will work under clear instructions and guidance from senior colleagues.
There is an element of flexibility required for the role and as part of a 7 day service, on a rota basis, you will be required to work nights and weekends for which we will pay an enhancement. We could help you to achieve a better work life balance, perhaps enabling you to pursue other employment, hobbies or interests outside of work.
If you do not already hold the Level 2 in Health and Social Care or the QCF Level 2 Diploma in Health & Social Care, that isn’t a problem! All we ask is for your commitment to study the qualification with full support and training from us to help you to develop. Staff development is important to us so we will also pay for you to complete it via our apprenticeship training route.
