A Disability Confident employer will generally offer an interview to any applicant that declares they have a disability and meets the minimum criteria for the job as defined by the employer. It is important to note that in certain recruitment situations such as high‑volume, seasonal and high‑peak times, the employer may wish to limit the overall numbers of interviews offered to both disabled people and non‑disabled people.

Previous experience is not as essential as a kind and common sense approach to the role; the employee's potential, personal qualities and attitude are more important than experience.

Full training will be given.

Are you a good listener, good at picking up new skills, reliable, trustworthy and adaptable? If so, have you considered working in the care sector for a lovely gentleman, like myself, so I am able to stay as independent as possible? I have vacancies for enthusiastic, inexperienced or experienced Carers/ P.A.'s to help me to remain independent in my own home.

The job will be mainly care work, housework including laundry, tidying and personal care. The job will be challenging and frustrating, interesting and varied, but hopefully rewarding and satisfying.
