"What would you like from your staff in order to live your happiest life?"
"I want to work with people that want to work with me" - Gentleman we support
Experienced in care? Looking for something new? Then this is a great opportunity to work independently whilst promoting the independence of a gentleman we support.
We are looking for someone who can be trusted to act with their own integrity and provide incredible and meaningful support, building a trusting and long lasting rapport with a gentleman in Penzance. This can be a challenging role at times, especially as it involves lone working, but if you want that challenge then this is offset with some truly inspirational moments where you can say 'I did that'.
If you're new to care then this is also a great chance to be a part of something from the ground up. As a new service in the Penzance area we are looking for fresh ideas, fresh talent and fresh passion. Someone that wants to be there and learn what making a real difference looks and feels like. You will be supported with great training and work alongside a team that wants to provide the very best care for the people we support. As well as that there is opportunity for progression and personal growth where you can learn and develop skills you never thought you had.
