There has never been a better time to work in social care, providing support that enables a positive impact and here at Persona, that is exactly what we do every day!

About you

You don’t need to have previous experience of working in social care, what’s important is that you are caring, a good communicator, patient, creative, able to work on your own initiative, show empathy and also work as part of a team. Most of all we are looking for someone who shares our values.

Flexibility is important as you will work on a rota basis. The rotas include a mix of shifts, including mornings, days, evenings, weekend and bank holidays.

No one will meet every single desired qualification. If your experience looks a little different from what we're saying and you think you can bring value to the role, we'd love to learn more about you!
