The home care industry is growing rapidly as the demand for care is increasing and there is a shift away from a reliance on residential care to people being able to remain in their own homes. Our mission at Carefound Home Care fits exactly with this trend making this a hugely exciting time to join our career paths.
We have developed clear career paths to ensure that everybody across our team has a vision of how they can develop their career both now and in the future. Not every team member will want to move through their entire career path, but everybody is given the opportunity to do so.
Your career path as a care assistant
When you join Carefound Home Care as a care assistant you’ll get lots of support from day one, including a comprehensive induction to ensure you have all the training you need to fulfill your potential and be recognised as the best at what you do.
You’ll then be offered the opportunity to progress through our clear career path, enabling you to gain qualifications (if you want to) and reach your potential as a carer. If you’ve already got experience or qualifications, you may be able to start further along our career path or move faster through it.
