Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.

What you'll do at work

Prestige Nursing and Care Redhill is keen to speak with kind and compassionate people. You don't necessarily need to have a professional carer background - if you have looked after anyone, you probably already have many of the skills for care and we can provide training to fill any gaps.

What you will gain:

• An opportunity to turn your compassion into a profession
• Flexibility to work around other areas of your life and existing responsibilities
• Support and training to build on your existing caring skills and experience
• A range of benefits to complement your hard work and needs

Key Responsibilities:

• Supporting with personal care and daily routines
• Assisting with medication
• Preparing meals and supporting with nutrition
• Helping with shopping and household tasks
• Providing companionship and emotional support
• Supporting clients to access the community and maintain independence

Who you will be:

• Someone who can be flexible in their approach as the clients you will look after have a range of individual needs, so no two days are the same
• A compassionate, friendly and empathic person who will revel in the idea of supporting others to fulfil their lives
• A driver with a full licence and transport able to travel between clients
• Someone who has either already got an advanced DBS Certificate/PVG or understands they will need to undertake these before they start
• Someone who will commit fully to the apprenticeship and the role from the start

Where you'll work

18 WARWICK ROAD
REDHILL
