At Fernbank Court our priority is the people we support and making a difference to them.
We are currently looking to recruit Relief Care and Support Worker to join our warm and welcoming team. We are looking for someone with the right values and behaviours to join us– could this be you? We’re keen to recruit someone who is passionate about working in care and who can help us ensure our workplace values are at the heart of everything we do.
These are:
- Dignity and respect
- Learning and reflection
- Working together
- Commitment to quality care and support
There are 45 flats at Fernbank Court, for people who need some care and support to allow them to continue to live independently. Within the scheme there is a hairdressing salon, a therapy room, a hobby room, assisted bathroom, secure garden, guest room and a restaurant. The scheme forms part of the local community and members of the public can access the restaurant and facilities during the day.
This role is based in Selby, and whilst your main base will be Fernbank Court, you will have the opportunity to work in other facilities in the Selby area where available.
You don’t need to have previous experience of working in care, nor do you need qualifications. We would be delighted to work with you to help you become an excellent care worker. We will give you all the training and support you need. You will be supported by us to make a difference by not only providing personal care to the people we support but supporting them to take part in a wide range of activities, promoting independence along the way. The duties are varied and no two days will be the same. Our residents are individuals and they all deserve to be treated as such.
What we can offer you:
- Significant training and learning including equality and diversity, personal safety, autism, dementia awareness and health and safety.
- Generous holiday entitlement, increasing by length of service.
- Enhanced DBS clearance paid for by us.
- Starting salary dependent on experience and qualifications.
- Competitive rate of pay with the opportunity for progression.
- Access to a range of salary sacrifice schemes and discounts including pension scheme, green car scheme, childcare vouchers and home technology scheme.
- Support with your care qualification, apprenticeships, NVQ Level 2 or Level 3.
