Job Title: Carer
At Cocklebury Farmhouse our mission is to empower people to live enjoyable and fulfilling lives. Our commitment to this is consistent for the people within our care, the people within our staff team, and the people within our local community.
This is achieved by providing the support to enable individuals the chance to explore who they are in a safe and constructive way, to live active and engaging lives, as well as interacting and supporting our local community.
Our vibrant care team is central to attaining this high level of care. Their enthusiasm and commitment creates a family atmosphere between the staff and residents that we are all proud of. In turn we aim to support the care team to make a difference in a culture where their opinion matters.
We have 3 small independently owned homes that provide accommodation and care for individuals who have a learning disability and behaviours which challenge. Many of the individuals we support have some degree of autistic traits.
All of our care homes are currently rated Outstanding by the CQC.

Salary: Over £10 Per hour DOE

The Role:
We are searching for an energetic person to join our care team who can help make a difference in people’s lives.

We succeed by promoting an active and engaging lifestyle to our residents. We have 5 vehicles over 3 homes and these are used daily to attend places of interest and occupational pursuits. A full clean driving license is therefore preferred.
