The Honeysuckle Farm Family are recruiting!

Honeysuckle is a 15-bed residential care home in Leicester. We support adults with learning and physical disabilities to meet their personal goals and future aspirations as well as supporting them to live the life they love!

We have a resident dog called Nigel here at Honeysuckle Farm who all the individuals we support love! We also have six ducks, that we’ve raised from tiny ducklings, that live alongside us all too. We love spending time in the garden, and we have a sunflower race every year. We love a good party, and love to celebrate each other’s birthdays with friends, family, food and of course, lots of cake!

If you’re looking for a job that’s meaningful where you can make a difference - then it’s time to apply and help us live our best lives.

At Salutem Care and Education, we recognise the value and wisdom that come from all stages of life. Join our team to be a part of a community that truly appreciates the richness of age diversity.

Now we've shared a glimpse of what it's like to work for us, let us introduce ourselves. We’re Salutem and we are committed to making a positive impact on the lives of thousands of children and adults in England and Wales across our residential homes, schools and day centres. Our dedicated support teams empower individuals to overcome any obstacles and live the life they choose.

Each day will be different, and the main focus of your role is to provide daily support to adults in our residential services. It’s definitely not a normal 9-5, you can work days, nights, and flexible shifts too. 

Requirements for role: 

Ability to work alone or as part of a team and hold good working relationships with residents, of whom have a wide range of diagnosis. 
To support and encourage the residents with household tasks within the home (capabilities permitting).
To ensure the service cleanliness is maintained and monitored to good standard and ensure that any issues are reported accordingly to the persons in charge. To sign documentation on the daily for tasks carried out 
To have knowledge and understanding of the COSHH, infection control and health & safety policies within the care environment. As well as the importance of adhering to policies, procedures and regulations essential to the service and individuals we support 

We want the best for everyone we support and that's what makes us a family. If you have the ability to support someone to feel at home, be their true self, and do what makes their heart happy - we want to hear from you. This is a meaningful role and will suit someone who is looking to make a difference and make memories that'll last a lifetime. 

We know our staff put 100% into building brighter futures for the individuals we support. That's why we offer career progression no matter where you start in the organisation. Your progress here will be regularly reviewed and as you gain expertise your rate of pay will increase. We believe in creating a Career from Care and we want the support workers we recruit now to become our managers of the future!

In regards to benefits, at Salutem, any day can be a payday. That’s right, you can withdraw up to 30% of your wages via Wagestream, so if you need some cash, we’ve got you covered.

As a keyworker in the Care sector, you’ll qualify for discounts with a Blue Light card. If you qualify for a pension scheme and choose to opt in, we’ll support you to pay into this. We also have a healthcare scheme you can opt into that looks after you when you need it most.

We enjoy using our internal staff communications app, Blink, where everyone has a voice and can lean on each other for daily support, and celebrate success too.

We have a massive duty of care towards those we support who are often the most vulnerable in society, which is why our staff are encouraged to keep up to date with vaccines and focus on self-care too.

We hope this gives you a little glimpse into this role and vibe of our organisation. We want everyone at Salutem to live their best lives, and look forward to hearing from you too! #applynow
