As a Health Care Assistant, you’ll support adults living with complex care needs to live their best lives.

This role will give you a tremendous sense of achievement and pride – you’ll be making a real difference each and every day.

As well as stable and secure employment opportunities, we offer great benefits and perks, and plenty of opportunities to learn, develop and progress.

• encouraging and supporting people to take part in social activities, both in and out of the home
• promoting choice, dignity, independence and respect

We value relevant experience and qualifications, but they aren’t essential for this role. Above all, you’re someone who identifies with our Exemplar Health Care values of fun, integrity, responsiveness, success and teamwork.

• caring, kind, understanding and calm
• able to deal with, and defuse, challenging situations
• energetic and outgoing, with a positive, can-do attitude
• a great listener and communicator

You’ll put people at the heart of everything you do. If you haven’t worked in the care sector before, we’ll help you feel right at home from the start with our induction, buddy and ongoing training programmes.

We offer great rewards and perks including:

• regular supervision, peer support, learning opportunities and career prospects
• access to wages before payday
• retail and lifestyle discounts
• free DBS check
• 24/7 counselling and support
