About You
For us, personality and passion come before education. Caring experience is ideal but as long as you have the right attitude and values, we’d love you to apply. You’ll be supported by your SCA Care colleagues and the wider Social Care in Action family, and full training will be provided.
About The Role
Our Extra Care Schemes support individuals to remain in their own homes with person‑centred care to enable them to live as independently as possible whilst taking into account their choices and respecting their human rights.

The team at SCA Care believes that helping people live the life they want to lead is extremely important. When you join our team, you’ll make a real and positive impact on the lives of the people we support at our schemes. Our Extra Care Schemes are developments that comprise self-contained homes and SCA Care provide support to tenants to enable self-care and independent living. Working at SCA Care means you’ll ensure the customer’s home remains personal to them, and that the care and support given is tailored to their unique needs.
