This role

Are you interested in starting a career in care and support? MTVH is looking for care and support workers to join their friendly team in Barnet. This is an ideal opportunity for someone seeking to start their career in care. You will be working in an extra care supported living service supporting up to 39 older people requiring varying levels of care and support, so while experience in a similar role is helpful it is not essential.

What you will need to succeed

You'll work with people in a person-centred way, update electronic records, coordinate appointments and work with individuals to regain or develop new skills that help them achieve meaningful outcomes.

What matters most is your ability to show real compassion and a commitment to delivering high quality dignified support to vulnerable adults.

To meet our commitment to providing safe and high-quality services you will be required to complete an enhanced background check with the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS), which will include a check of the Adult Barred list, once an offer of employment is made. A new DBS will be completed every three years.

What you'll receive in return

You'll be working in a fast-paced environment where you can benefit from our comprehensive in-house training to continue developing your skills. We offer excellent benefits, including:

28 days annual leave plus public holidays and an additional Belief Day, with the option to buy or sell up to 5 days leave
Healthcare cash plan
