(as per our advertisement in Times and Star, weekend of 24^th, 25^th and 26^th July 2009)

Senior carer

We currently have two care supervisors who, over the next two years will be retiring, and we are currently looking for senior carers to take over their duties in a gradual, systematic and phased manner. We are currently looking for one full time senior carer or two part time senior carers to work within our organisation to begin to assist with the day to day care planning and delivery of care, record keeping, and day to day management of the care we provide our clients. Experience is essential for this post, however full training will be given to familiarise the successful applicants with our particular philosophy of ‘person centred care’ and our in house IT systems. Successful applicants will also be expected to have attained a suitable qualification such as an NVQ level 3 in a care related subject. In addition to experience and qualifications, we are looking for someone who is self motivated and can inspire others. We need someone who is confident in making decisions and who can not only take charge of their particular shift but can organise carers and trainee carers to make the most of their abilities and time. Hours are variable and will inevitably involve some weekend work. We feel that we are a good company to work for (one of the two current care supervisors who is leaving has worked with us for nineteen years, the other thirteen), and we would hope that the successful candidate(s) will in due course become an integral and valued part of our care team. We are equally happy to receive applications for this post from both outside our organisation and within, so if you feel that this is a role that you would be suitable for, do please download an application and return the completed form at the earliest opportunity. If you do not have the facilities to print off an application form, please contact me on 07814 974 843 and we will be happy to post an application to you. As with all the other posts currently available at The Dales, an offer of employment will be conditional on the applicant successfully completing an enhanced CRB check, and also on them being able to provide a minimum of two, satisfactory written references.

Carer

We are currently looking to employ one or possibly two full time carers, or three part time carers to compliment our existing team of dedicated carers. We are looking for people with a genuinely caring nature, and whilst experience and qualifications may be an advantage, they are by no means essential. From experience, a caring nature and an eagerness to learn is an excellent starting point for anyone wishing to pursue a career as a carer, especially as full training will be given. There is some flexibility in the shifts you would be asked to work, however inevitably there would be an element of working weekends and evenings etc and we need people who can commit to this from the outset. We are making some changes to our shift patterns and working practices at the moment, so in addition to daytime and evening shift carers we are also looking for night time carers. Whilst many people choose to work a combination of all three shifts, opportunities exist for people wanting to work exclusively nights.

Receptionist/General office admin

Recent events have highlighted the need for us to employ someone to attend to the telephone and ‘meet and greet’ visitors to the home, as well as attending to general office duties such as filing, dealing with incoming post, letter writing, and the inputting of client details onto our computerised record keeping system. A pleasant demeanour, good people skills and a friendly, caring nature are essential qualities for the successful applicant, as is the ability to work unsupervised on a day to day basis. We are looking for someone who is self motivated, and who can work to a consistently high standard without constant prompting. Whilst experience in a similar role may be an advantage, it is by no means essential as full training will be given. A good telephone manner and the ability to work steadily and methodically to achieve targets within a relaxed and laid back atmosphere would be a great advantage to any applicant. The role would primarily involve working normal office hours, although a willingness to work evenings or weekends if required would be an advantage. The successful applicant must be able to organise their workload and must have good numeracy and literacy skills. Basic knowledge of ICT would also be required and the ability to use a basic word-processor (MS word) etc would be expected.

　Cleaner / Laundry assistant

We are currently looking to employ one full time or two part time cleaners/laundry assistants to work in our car home. The successful applicant will be required to work on a rolling roster basis, so there will be some element of weekend work, especially with regard to the cleaning aspect of the job. It may be that we will receive applications from people wishing to do only the cleaning part of the job, and others who would only wish to do the laundry, and we are flexible in our approach to this situation.
