Current Vacancies - Crediton x 2 carers and Witheridge x 1 carer

Their philosophy is to encourage and support their residents in making choices, in being independent. Making the decision to move into one of their homes does not mean giving up independence. In their homes the client creates a relaxed and happy atmosphere. They understand that people value their privacy and independence, yet appreciate the benefits of companionship and the reassurance that help is on hand if needed.

Our clients' residents can all enjoy the confidence that, should the need arise, they are at their service, but they strive to support and encourage their ability to choose and to maintain independence wherever possible.

You will need to have at least six months' experience working in a care/supported living environment, and ideally hold a Level 3 Qualification in Health and Social Care, although it is more important that you have a positive, can-do attitude and the willingness to undertake further on-the-job training. All successful candidates will need to undergo an enhanced DBS check (paid for by Primary Source Care) before they can commence working with service users.

Primary Source Care provides a full induction and ongoing training.
