Overview
They don’t always find the words. But when you speak, they light up. Because there’s something in your voice, your presence, your calm attention. Something that says, you’re safe now.
That’s what good care feels like. And that’s exactly what you bring. At CrossReach, we’re looking for Care Workers who lead with heart. The kind of people who understand that connection is just as important as care plans, and that sometimes the quiet moments speak loudest.
Responsibilities
A day in your life might include:
* Supporting someone to enjoy their garden again, even if it’s just five peaceful minutes
* Speaking with a GP or nurse when someone’s feeling off, and making sure they feel heard
* Helping keep a care plan personal, not just clinical
* Supporting someone to attend worship or spiritual reflection if that’s meaningful to them
Qualifications
* Calm, thoughtful and ready to offer reassurance when it’s needed most
* Open to learning, with support to complete your SVQ Level 3
* Respectful of faith, whether it’s your own, someone else’s or none at all
* A reliable team player who is happy to help out wherever needed
Benefits
* Full training and guidance, with support every step of the way
* Opportunities to grow your skills and progress in your career
* The deep satisfaction of knowing that what you do, day in and day out, really matters
* Access to a wide range of exclusive retail and leisure discounts through our rewards scheme and the Blue Light Discount card
* Generous contributory pension plan and death in service benefit
* Enhanced family friendly policies and a health cash plan for health treatments
* A care concierge service to assist with life’s challenges
* Support for professional membership fees and opportunities to learn, grow and develop in ways that are right for you
