Recruitment Event

We are hosting a sector specific (support work) recruitment event on the 2nd November 1.30 – 4.30 at the Beacon, drop in whenever you want.

What is/are the role(s)?

Do you want to make a difference?
Do you hold the values of equality, diversity and inclusion?
Do you believe that everyone has the right to lead a meaningful life, making own decisions and choices and living a life of their own making?

If yes, there are employers who are looking for these qualities.

The actual job title varies from employer to employer. The Action Group and Thera recruit for Support Workers, Upmo for Project Workers, Enable hire Personal Assistants and ELCAP Support Practitioners.

The title may differ from employer to employer, and the specific tasks and responsibilities (as per job descriptions) but all look for individuals who are able to support others to live to their full potential.

Why should you attend?

It’s a great chance to meet employers in an informal setting who can explain more about the role and where you can have any questions answered.
You may be thinking about a career where ‘you want to make a difference’ and perhaps have thought about supporting people but aren’t sure where to start.
You’ll get the chance to speak to employers about what the role is really like, how you can go about applying for vacancy positions, get tips on your application and ask anything you would really like to know.

What employers are going to be here?

Do you need to book?

No, you don’t. You can drop in anytime November 2nd between 1.30 – 4.30 at the Beacon. However, if you would like to let us know you are coming please complete the form below. That would be helpful to us so we know if it’s going to be busy or not and need to allocate more space at the Beacon for the event.

Do you need previous experience as a Support Worker?

You don’t need experience in social care to start your career, we recruit people based on their values and transferrable skills. Wherever your journey has taken you up until now, join us, and together we will forge a new path in what could potentially be the most rewarding role you have ever had; at a time when society needs you the most!
