Fairburn Vale is part of Exemplar Health Care, one of the country’s leading nursing care providers. We support adults living with complex mental health needs, brain injuries, physical disabilities and neuro‑disabilities including Huntington’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. As well as stable and secure employment opportunities, we offer great benefits and perks, and plenty of opportunities to learn, develop and progress.

Our Health Care Assistants support people to live their best lives, whatever that looks like to them. No two days will ever be the same, but your day‑to‑day responsibilities will include:

• promoting choice, dignity, independence and respect
• completing and maintaining care records

We have higher‑than‑average staffing levels when compared to other care providers, giving you more time to spend with the people you support.

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.

• 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
• Blue Light Card eligibility

Sound good? We’d love to hear from you. Apply now.
