Before applying to Professional Carers we would recommend you take a look at the sections below which details our open vacancies, our perks, a video about a typical day working in care, as well as information about the training you can expect to receive.
Working in care is demanding, but extremely rewarding and we are looking to hear from individuals with the right attitude and behaviours to match our own values, centred around c.a.r.e!
What matters to us, is that you hold a true desire and ability to show compassion, accountability, respect and excellence.
You don’t need to have previous care experience for some roles [although preferred], nor do you need qualifications to get started. Via our intensive training, induction and mentoring, we will equip you with the right skills and abilities so you can really make a difference!
Good luck.

It might also be helpful to have a social care qualification such as a Level 2 or 3 Diploma in Health and Social Care. Don’t worry if you don’t have these qualifications though – if you’re interested, you can work towards them once you start the job.
When you start in your role, you’ll do an induction, which will then progress onto the Care Certificate – these are the minimum standards that everyone working in social care needs to reach.

Beyond this there are vocational qualifications such as a Diploma in Health and Social Care, or continuing a professional development qualifications such as dementia, end of life, or autism.
In addition to this, there may be opportunities to progress into operational roles, such as Care Coordinator, Field Supervisor and perhaps one day into a management role.
