Job description
Do you have the passion to give something back to the people living in your community? Or, maybe you’re looking for a new career opportunity?
If so, BelleVie, an award-winning home care provider, is looking for you.
We work with wonderful individuals throughout Hexham/Corbridge area, all of whom have tales to tell and stories to share. They also have plans to make and people to see, but they need a little help and support in doing so.
As a BelleVie Wellbeing Support Worker, you could be Dot's helping hand, Joan's shoulder to lean on, or Maureen's bus buddy. In return, you'll meet new people, form firm friendships, probably go on a fair few day trips - and be in no doubt that the work you do is both valued and vital.
We offer our services so that these people can lead the lives they love in the comfort of their own homes and get the support they need to live life their way. You'll learn new skills on the job, hone your decision-making and team-leadership capabilities, and take the first rewarding steps on a new career path - if that is the direction you’d like to take.
We'll provide you with the necessary training, advice, understanding, and empathy to succeed in your role, and, if you want to get a qualification, we'll pay to put you through your NVQ to give you the relevant experience.
Why BelleVie?
Like other home care providers, we offer help around the home, personal care, as well as transportation, companionship, and plenty besides!
But that’s where the similarities with other providers ends. The best way for you to find out how, is to have a chat. But, to give you an idea of what we’re about, here are a few of our favourite points of difference:
- We don't have a boss. Our close-knit care teams are fully self-managed, meaning you get to make your own decisions but have the backing of peers.
- We pay well. We pay for all of the hours you're working - not just the hours you spend in someone's home.
- We will help you get qualified. We’ll help you train towards your NVQ if you want to grow your skill sets in care.
- We'll help you launch your own linked enterprise. If you have an idea for a 'micro-enterprise' of your own, we'll help you get it off the ground by providing the know-how, network, and a ready-made client-base.
- We’re flexible. We’re about making work, work for you. As we split shifts up into 5 hour blocks (generally 7.30/8am-1pm and/or 4pm-9pm) it means that you can find a healthy work-life balance.
- We're fun!
The small print
We pay £11.3/h for time spent supporting people in their homes and £10.5/hfor the rest of your time - those hours between visits, when you’re travelling, training, running rotas, and connecting with your team.
Interested in hearing more?
Good! Because we’re interested in speaking to you too. And before you ask, no – relevant experience isn’t necessary. If you’ve got it, great. But either way, we’ll provide all the training you need. Attitude before aptitude! Are you looking to make a real impact in people’s lives?
You must be able to drive and have access to your own car.
