Care Assistant- Return to Care

Permanent – Full time/ Part time/ Days/Nights available

Are you seeking a role in care but do not have the training required?

Have you left the care sector and want to return?

Here at MHA we are running a "Kick Start a Career in Care" scheme which rewards new starters with a £750 bonus.

If you haven’t been working in the care industry for the previous 2 years OR have not worked in the health and social care sector before you may be eligible for the scheme. You may also be eligible if you have left the education system and are seeking for your first role.

Please see the link below for further information. Terms and Conditions apply.

What do I need to do?

Submit your application through MHA and we will check your eligibility.

The scheme is available to anyone who has not worked in the health and social care sector before, regardless of whether or not they’ve been in education and anyone returning to the sector after a break of 2 years or more.

As a Care Assistant at MHA you will lead and inspire a team of committed care assistants to provide the highest quality of care to our residents enabling them to live later life well. Duties will be varied and include supporting our residents with personal care needs and helping them to take part in a wide range of activities that support their health and wellbeing.

You will have a kind, warm and caring nature and be able to work well as part of a team but also use your own initiative. Patience, communication and listening skills are equally important. Maintaining accurate records, time management and prioritising tasks will also be strengths. So, if you have the ability to lead by example, form positive relationships and energise colleagues to deliver exceptional care then we’d love to hear from you.

You will be joining an organisation with strong values, a highly supportive culture and a commitment to the safety and wellbeing of employees. In addition, you will work alongside highly motivated colleagues in an environment of strong teamwork whilst also having fun. This is a hugely rewarding role and a career to be proud of where every day you will go home knowing you made a positive difference to the lives of older people.
