What will you be doing?

Are you looking for a meaningful career where you’ll be able to make a real difference to people’s lives every single day? Whether you are new to care or you have got years of experience, we have got the right job for you.

Westview is a care centre that provides short term placements, assisting people to regain their independence and meet their aims and objectives.

By promoting independence and delivering person centred care, you’ll be making a real difference to people’s everyday lives. If you are passionate about helping others, you’re the perfect candidate and if you are interested in getting qualifications, you can work towards them once you start the job.

Your day-to-day might include: Assisting with personal care such as showering and dressing, assisting people to eat and drink, supporting people with their daily activities, monitoring individual’s conditions, and engaging service users with social activities.

We have three care worker vacancies available, and we can be flexible in the hours offered (to be discussed at interview).

We are able to offer you a comprehensive induction package. This will include mandatory training as well as access to multiple personal development courses. You will already hold an NVQ/Diploma Level 2 or equivalent. We can also offer this programme to the right candidate if not held upon commencing employment. You will have a rolling 4-week rota pattern that includes a mixture of morning and afternoon shifts, enabling a more flexible work-life relationship.

KCC has a comprehensive staff benefits package including access to the Local Government Pension Scheme, generous holiday entitlement, yearly pay reviews & rewards for exceptional performance, and exclusive discounts with local & national retailers.

This post is considered by KCC to be a customer-facing position. The Council therefore has a statutory duty under Part 7 of the Immigration Act (2016) to ensure that post holders have a command of spoken English/Welsh sufficient for the effective performance of the job requirements. The appropriate standards are set out in the Job Description/Person Specification.
