**COVID-19 Vaccinations**:
By law any employees working in social care in England for residents requiring nursing or personal care must have 2 doses of a COVID-19 vaccine. Unfortunately we can only offer you the role, if you have received both doses of this vaccine, unless you have a medical exemption, and can provide proof of this.

Experience in the care sector or caring for another individual, either personally or professionally, would be beneficial, but not essential. What is essential is a caring, empathetic and compassionate nature, a strong belief in teamwork, a keen work ethic and an interest in a career in care. We will provide training from The Care Certificate up to Level 5 Health and Social Care or Associate Nurse training; providing opportunities for promotion and enhancing your skills.
