Derbyshire County Council are looking for Care Workers to join our Community Support Bed Unit at Thomas Fields. This unit focuses on short‑term reablement and assessment. Your role will be supporting clients within the unit to regain full or partial independence.
You don’t need previous experience or qualifications. We provide structured training to ensure our care workers receive what they need to flourish and progress in their social care careers.
What are we looking for?
Do you have a caring personality, ambition, and drive to work positively with people? Are you committed to promoting choice and control, encouraging independence in personal care, mobility, medication, meal preparation, and support with their personal service plan? If the answer is yes, we want to hear from you.
Responsibilities
Working in care can be challenging at times, but extremely rewarding. You will work as part of a multi‑professional team to provide wrap‑around support, enabling people to live as independently as possible in their own home. You will work towards a therapy‑goal‑focused care plan that promotes independence, and you will have access to support through the new structure. You will collaborate closely with other colleagues, receive regular access to your Senior Care Workers for on‑the‑job queries and support, and to your Deputy Unit Managers for supervision, professional development and training.
A robust and attainable career pathway has been built into the new structure, offering opportunities to progress into more senior positions.
Qualifications and Requirements
* Enjoy a challenge
* Understand what it means to treat people with dignity and respect
* Can place a person at the centre of their care
* Can be creative and are forward‑thinking
Benefits
* Competitive rates of pay
* Generous local government pension
* Genuine career development opportunity

These vacant positions have various part‑time hours available, with a set rota comprising a mixture of early, late, and night shifts. There are also opportunities to work extra hours when they are available. The job requires unsocial hours, including weekends and Bank Holidays, and you may be required to work at night when the need arises, subject to agreement.
The services are experiencing an exciting period of change in 2025‑2026. As part of improving integration between health and social care, we are transitioning the service to deliver support within a new partnership between Derbyshire County Council and Derbyshire Community Health Services NHS. We expect these roles to transition into this partnership in Summer 2026.
