WHY JOIN ATLAS AND RCH

You will have a fulfilling career with lots of opportunities for development and progression (including specialist training) whilst being supported by a friendly, skilled and award-winning team. You will make a difference to people’s lives and have an opportunity to both give back and be a thriving part of your local community.

Your physical, emotional and mental wellbeing are important to us which is why we have partnered with various organisations who provide 24 hours access to free counselling, legal and financial advice, and health and wellbeing benefits in the EAP (Employee Assistance Program). You will be valued and your great work will be recognised via a number of internal and external initiatives including awards.

You will be able to stretch your salary further with your Refer a Friend bonus*, free DBS* and access to various retail, leisure and dining discounts, whilst simultaneously saving for your future with automatic enrolment on the company pension scheme*. You will have more time for yourself because the local work will mean a shorter commute and, if you drive, will have free onsite parking available to you. You will also be provided with free uniforms.

IS THIS THE PERFECT JOB FOR YOU?

If you are a caring person with a genuine commitment to helping people and are a team player who enjoys building strong relationships whilst working in a varied, fast-paced and dynamic environment, then this could be the right job for you.

If you are kind, honest, passionate about developing new skills, respectful to everyone you support or work with while remaining dedicated to promoting independence, respect and dignity, you would enjoy this role.

If you are a patient people person with a good listening ear, are reliable, and have a flexible can-do attitude, you will excel in this position.

EXPERIENCE

Whilst you don’t need any specific qualifications for this role as we provide ongoing training and support, you do need to be able to communicate well and have a good level of both written and verbal English.

We welcome people without any prior experience in care because you will have more transferable skills from your previous jobs than you realise, but we also welcome applications from people with prior care experience and/or those you have already completed their Care Certificate / relevant qualification.

REQUIREMENTS

• Right to work in the UK

WHAT DOES THE JOB INCLUDE?

This is a varied role where you’ll get the opportunity to form close bonds with the individuals you support for whilst working as part of a dedicated team.

Your role will include supporting tenants with daily tasks such as cooking, cleaning and participating in a wide range of fun recreational and social activities whilst encouraging them to gain independence and new skills, whether that’s continuing to do things they already enjoy or trying new experiences.

You’ll also be there to promote independence and positivity, whilst always maintaining people’s dignity, which will include assisting in the assessment of the effectiveness of care implementation and delivery, and working in co-operation with multi-disciplinary teams in order to maximise opportunities for the tenants.
