Job description
Social network you want to login/join with:
Many of our residents have lived in communities near to their respective care homes, and we believe that visits from local people and groups can be a huge mental and emotional boost. This belief has fed our values of creating caring communities that are friendly, kind and welcoming to all.
Absolutely anyone can make a positive difference to the lives of our residents. If you have a skill, hobby, or interest that you would like to share, or are willing to roll your sleeves up, we would love to hear from you!
Some of the things that our homes and residents would sincerely appreciate include:
- Spending time with residents whose families struggle to visit. This could be anything; having a cup of tea and going through photos, 1 on 1 or group board games, playing or teaching a musical instrument, knitting together, everything is welcome.
- Helping in our gardens; potting plants, sowing seeds, mowing lawns, weeding.
- Driving a minibus (requires category D1 on license) or getting involved with outdoor activities.
- Running an art and crafts workshop.
- Baking or cooking with residents.
- Starting up a book or crafts club.
Hours and days can be flexible to suit availability; it’s your contribution that makes you special. Our application process is simple, no need to worry about care qualifications or previous experience. To apply, just reach out to our People & Culture team on 01256 383370. They will arrange for you to complete an application form and will then carry out a free enhanced DBS check (if you’re 17 years+). After this, it’s time for introductions and getting to know the home and residents and start making a difference in their lives.
