Are you someone with a **caring personality and a desire to care for others**? Do you have the ambition and drive to work positively with people, promoting choice and control to encourage their independence in personal care, mobility, medication, making meals, whilst working to their personal service plan? Understanding the needs of older people, including those with dementia, is an important part of the work. **Could you make a difference to someone’s life**

**You don’t need to have previous experience of care work or qualifications as we offer structured training to ensure our care workers receive what they need to flourish and progress in their social care careers**

We’re keen to hear from you if you:

- Enjoy a challenge
- Understand what it means to treat people with dignity and respect
- Can place a person at the centre of their care
- Can be creative and are forward thinking

Working in care can be challenging at times, but extremely rewarding, and as an employee of Derbyshire County Council, you will receive various benefits including:

- Access to the Local Government Pension Scheme
- 25 days annual leave per year (rising to 30 days after 5 years continuous service) plus 8 bank holidays (pro rata).
- Training and development opportunities
- PPE and workwear
- Smarter travel scheme including access to the cycle to work scheme
- Supportive management and team
- Access to our in-house occupational services which also includes physiotherapy and counselling
- Derbyshire rewards - offering hundreds of discounts and cashback

We look forward to hearing from you

You can always contact Angela Woodward for an informal chat if you have any questions or there is something you’re not sure about on 01629 533982.

Provisional Interview Date**: 31st October 2024**

The job may require unsocial hours working including weekends and Bank Holidays. Payment arrangements will be detailed in any contract offer made.
