Alongside your employment you will undertake an Adult Social Care level 2 or 3 apprenticeship qualification (dependent upon previous qualifications and experience). This apprenticeship is not just for school leavers and young people; there is no upper age limit on who can apply!

We are looking for an enthusiastic, hard-working, positive individual who is self-motivated and able to work on their own initiative as well as being a team player. You will be committed to providing excellent service, have a caring nature and be willing to learn and develop. You will also be required to work any day of the week between 7am – 10pm (based on rota).
As the job involves working directly with adults, delivering personal care, it is therefore subject to an enhanced DBS check.
