Chance to start a career in caring

Caring and dedicated West Lothian workers are being sought in a new recruitment drive.

Wheatley Care is looking for new workers who will go that extra mile to help the people they support.

The care provider is on the lookout for flexible, reliable, and compassionate individuals who love to work with and enhance the lives of people in their homes and local communities.

The organisation, part of Wheatley Group, is looking for people to work in services in West Lothian and across Scotland.

The role of a health and wellbeing assistant involves everything from helping with personal care, making breakfast, going to appointments or outings, supporting someone to achieve a specific goal they have or just having good conversation; with the right support and understanding anything is possible.

Sam Miller, a health and wellbeing assistant with Wheatley Care, says she would recommend the job to anyone.

The 22-year-old said: “It is all about making sure that the people you work for live happy and fulfilled lives based on their goals and desired outcomes.

“This can be anything from assisting with breakfast, medication, and household chores to trying something brand new in the wider community – a new hobby, activity or meeting new people. No two days are the same.

“The role has been great for my career development. Each shift you can be faced with new experiences and different challenges.

“It’s great to see how much I have grown and developed within my role and I appreciate the foundation this has given me to build a career within social care.”

“I would recommend this job to anyone. It is fast-paced. You are helping people and making a positive impact on their lives.”
