Eligibility to work in Social Care Services
Under the Health & Social Care Act, all Social Care workers must be qualified to work with vulnerable adults and/or children. If you are applying to us to work as a Learning Disability Support Worker with our Clients you must already hold, or be prepared to work towards, your NVQ 2 in Health & Social Care. Our Seniors take Level 3 Health & Social Care. Managers of Health & Social Care Services must have a Level 5.
This applies to all Bank and Agency workers who wish to work at Journey.
Overseas Students currently studying in the UK
You must be fully qualified to work in Social Care and have relevant professional experience, ideally gained in Day Services. Journey Enterprises does not provide any personal care services but skills development (training) services for adults with learning disability.
Unless you are on a suitable Graduate Visa, we are not able to accept applications for permanent posts at Journey from overseas students on study visas. A student visa restricts the type of work and contract you can apply for. This excludes all permanent, full time posts.
We are not able to accept applications for more hours/week than your study visa permits. For a postgraduate this typically is no more than 20 hours/week across all jobs you are doing.
We must be able to verify your full background: education, qualifications and prior professional experience, in addition to completion of an enhanced DBS check.
