Care jobs in Bridlington: Do I need experience? What is the package?

A wide-ranging package will help with the cost of living

A leading specialist care service in Bridlington, rated Outstanding by the Care Quality Commission, is looking to recruit new members of its service team doing life-changing work in support of adults with learning disabilities and complex needs.

Run by award-winning national care provider, Heathcotes Group, the service provides residential care and support for individuals with Prader-Willi Syndrome who may have dual diagnoses and associated needs. The team is committed to providing a better quality of life, greater opportunities and freedom of choice for the people they support.

With all training provided and professional NVQ qualifications in Health & Social Care funded by Heathcotes Group, previous care experience is not essential. The service is more interested in the personal attributes and values that make a good Support Worker: dedication, energy and resilience combined with a caring, compassionate nature and a desire to make a difference to people’s lives.

Service Manager, Janine Simpson, said: “We’re a very close-knit team that supports each other and celebrates success together. We have a real sense of personal and collective achievement and we’re motivated by a shared goal to have a lasting positive impact on the people we support. We’re very proud of the work we do. At times it can be challenging, but it’s also very fulfilling to know that you make a difference every time you come to work. You cherish those moments when you help someone achieve a breakthrough, develop a new skill or explore a new experience.

Full training is provided, with career development opportunities

“Being a Support Worker means many things. As well as helping with daily living needs, you build relationships with the people we support and their families. You build links to the community and organise activities, events and outings to support social inclusion. You are there to provide support during tough times and your work is vital in helping people to develop their skills and confidence, working towards greater independence.”

Heathcotes is committed to supporting the professional development of its colleagues. The company offers a Step-Up Programme which enables Support Workers to fast-track the knowledge and skills necessary to move up to a Team Leader position, providing a platform for long-term career progression. Colleagues also take advantage of a referral reward scheme and a wide-ranging benefits package including shopping discounts to put more money in their pockets during these difficult times of rising costs. In an uncertain economic climate, Heathcotes can offer job security and ongoing support for colleagues in their personal and working lives.

In a report by the Care Quality Commission, Heathcotes Bridlingon was rated Outstanding in the Effective, Caring and Well-Led categories, highlighting a solid structure of governance and a strong commitment to provide person-centred, high-quality care which achieved excellent outcomes for people.
