Care firm looking to take on 100 recruits

A care home provider is seeking more than 100 recruits to fill roles all over the North East as part of a revamp of services following the Covid-19 crisis.

The positions are among 1,000 being offered at Four Seasons Health Care’s 140 homes in England and Scotland – including those in Tyne and Wear, Northumberland and County Durham.

The vacancies are in non-clinical roles – including activities personnel, kitchen and housekeeping roles. The recruitment drive comes as ongoing restrictions on visits, excursions and entertainment have prompted Four Seasons to find new ways of ensuring residents remain happy and healthy.

The firm say no previous care home experience is needed and those with a background in hospitality are particularly encouraged to apply to make use of transferable skills including communication, teamwork, high quality service and multitasking.

Cheryl Jones, head of recruitment at the firm said; “Our teams are made up of people from a wide variety of backgrounds but what they share is an energy and enthusiasm for their role.”

“By adding new members to our team, we can continue to maintain our high standards of safety and just as importantly to make sure our residents are happy.

"This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone looking to make a real difference in the lives of others, no matter if they’re on the activities team, preparing meals or helping with maintenance.”
