At Westward Care we specialise in providing health and social care to older people, predominantly in a care home environment.

From the very first day, our team has been our greatest asset. The wide range of services we provide reflects the skills and professionalism of our workforce.

As an organisation, we have staff with a wide range of qualifications: from NVQ Level 2 carers, to qualified Registered Nurses. We also believe that it is extremely important to provide ongoing training and development, to enable staff to use their experiences and discover better ways of working.

Can you make a difference?

Westward Care Limited is looking to expand its team of dedicated professional Outreach Workers by starting up a new team operating out of its Pennington Court Care Home.

Already an established, respected and successful health and social care organisation based in Leeds, Westward Care is already delivering domiciliary care and support to the residents of its apartments adjoining its Headingley Hall Care Home and Westward Care launched its new ‘At Home’ support service into the local community in the Autumn of 2011 aiming to enrich the lives of older people by offering ‘At Home’ care and support solutions and choices which will enable older people to remain in control of their own lives by promoting independence in their own home.

As an organisation Westward Care understand that many people prefer to maintain their independence. We acknowledge that if an older person needs help or assistance to stay at home they will require a tailor made package of care and support designed just for them. Our ‘At Home’ team aims to provide flexible services to meet individual needs.

We are now ready to open our new Extra Care Plus Apartments adjoining Pennington Court and we are looking to recruit dedicated caring staff to help us deliver our quality ‘At Home’ care and support service.

Generally we will expect you to be able to deliver high quality care and support, relating to privacy, dignity, independence, choice, rights and fulfilment. Your key role will be to ensure that our client’s personal, physical, social and emotional needs are met on a daily basis, working closely with our clients to meet their requirements. The ethos of Westward Care is to provide excellent individual care from our experienced happy team.

This is an excellent opportunity for Support Workers to join our new ‘At Home’ team.

If you believe in older people being in control of their lives and maintaining their independence then we would like to hear from you.
