500 jobs at care home sector firm are up for grabs across the area
A HEALTH care firm which runs homes in Staffordshire is looking to employ more than 500 people in the area.
Four Seasons Health Care is looking for people to join its team at care homes across Staffordshire and Derbyshire.
The announcement comes following the recently published England and Wales Census 2021 results that show a 20 per cent increase in the number of people aged over 65 during the past decade.
New data from Skills for Care, the workforce development and planning body for adult social care in England, also found vacancies in the care sector rose to 11.1 per cent by August 22, representing a 50,000 fall in filled posts – the first time a reduction has been recorded since records began in 2012.
The same data revealed a vacancy rate of 11.3 per cent in the Midlands.
Recruiting at all levels, roles are available across care, nursing, home support and catering, with full and parttime positions on offer.
Care homes in the Midlands, where Four Seasons Health Care is currently recruiting, are based in places including Cannock, Stoke, Buxton, Ilkeston and Wheaton Aston.
Candidates do not need any prior experience for many of the roles on offer, and innovative training programmes are in place to empower employees to take control of their own career path, said a spokesperson.
Successful applicants will be expected to care for the older generation while joining a close-knit and supportive team. A career in adult social care also offers a high degree of flexibility with great opportunities for development and progression, they said.
