Are you looking for a senior care role with the potential to develop you into a future manager? Look no further than National Star.
It’s not a given that you will move up the ranks to manager if you join our team. However, many of our Senior Facilitators have secured promotion having joined National Star in more junior roles. Whatever your career aspirations if you share our culture and ethos we’re confident you’ll have a rewarding career at National Star.
Our long term residential provision "Ledbury Road" in central Hereford is a home to 7 residents with a mix of learning and physical disabilities who love its vibrant atmosphere and sense of community.
There is no such thing as a typical resident at National Star. They have a range of physical and learning disabilities and different hopes and aspirations for the future. From personalised care to simply being there, you will support the residents to pursue their hobbies, learn life skills such as cooking and laundry and lead a busy and active life.
Your first-class people skills will help you to lead a team of care workers, working together to provide a high standard of individualised care, promoting and encouraging our residents' personal independence. After a comprehensive induction into how we work at National Star, you will be able to work on your own initiative and be able to plan and organise effectively.
We’re anticipating that you will have at least two year’s care experience, and for this role it is essential that you have supported residents with a learning and/or physical disability. It is also important that you have a Level 2 or preferably Level 3 qualification in health or social care.
The post requires shift work, with early shifts starting at 7am and late shifts ending at 10pm and 11pm with alternating weekend working.
How to apply
At National Star, we know the value of a diverse workforce, and welcome applications from all areas of the community. This includes those with disabilities, and we are a proud Disability Confident employer and are committed to providing equal opportunities.
Please note that all applicants will be expected to undertake a DBS Disclosure, and undergo the necessary employer checks. The level of disclosure to be applied for will be dependent on your job role and will be discussed with you during the recruitment process but is usually an enhanced level. Where appropriate, the adult and child barred lists will be checked and we will not employ anyone who appears on either of those registers.
We prefer people to submit an online application as this helps support the charity in saving money. Alternatively please send your cv to recruitment@nationalstar.org or call our recruitment department 01242 504300 for further information or an application form. If you have a disability and need to apply using an alternative format, or if you have any technical problems with our recruitment system please let us know.
