Safeguarding
Keeping everyone safe is a core value. All staff follow our Safeguarding Policy & Procedures and, if they see or suspect abuse, we expect staff to report it straight away. This role involves a regulated activity and requires an enhanced DBS check with barred lists. The offer of employment will depend on a satisfactory outcome. Having a criminal record will not necessarily bar a person from working with us; this depends on the circumstances.
Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion
Friends of the Elderly strives to treat all staff equally and be a diverse and inclusive workplace, where everyone can be themselves and differences are respected. We welcome applications from those with the right to work in the UK. We currently do not provide sponsorship.
