Are you looking for a career that's both rewarding and offers opportunities to develop, but dread the thought of a desk job? Are you a people person who can strike up a conversation with anyone? Do you want to finish work knowing you've made a real difference to someone's life? If this sounds like you – we've got the perfect match!
As a Care Worker with Housing 21 you'll be part of a friendly, supportive team that works together to support our residents. Once you're at work, there's no travelling between calls as residents live independently in their own apartments within our schemes, which also offer communal lounges, gardens, cafés/bistros and hair salons for them to enjoy. Working with familiar residents and colleagues every day, you'll build strong relationships and feel part of the Extra Care family.
We want to make sure you feel valued too and have developed our offer to set us apart from the wider care sector.
