All care staff must be willing to work towards an SVQ2 or equivalent if they do not already have this qualification within 5 years of taking up this care post. Part funding through the SAAS is available for completion of SVQ 2 and SVQ 3 qualifications.

All staff will receive a full induction programme which involves several weeks shadowing experienced staff members and allowing time for you to get to know the residents fully. You will complete Moving and Handling training during this induction. Staff will also be required to complete some online modules as part of their mandatory training.

We are offering an hourly rate of £10.50, a company pension scheme, 5.6 weeks holiday a year and the chance to work with a great team in a family run care home.
