What your day will look like
About you
You will bring patience, empathy and a genuine commitment to supporting older people to live well. You will understand the importance of building trusting relationships and delivering person centred care that respects dignity and independence.

You will be willing to work towards an SVQ Level 3 in Health and Social Care if you do not already hold this qualification. You must be a member of the PVG Scheme and registered with the SSSC, or willing to join and register.
