We're looking for support workers at Mill Lane to help us live the life we love!

 
If you can provide day to day support and care helping us thrive in our home in Histon, we want to hear from you. We're a residential care home supporting five adults with learning disabilities. We are looking to recruit caring and emphatic support workers who want to work in our small family-feel home.
 
We care around the clock, every day of the year - so we need team members who can work shifts that would include mornings, evenings and weekends. We are also recruiting staff who can work night shift. Whatever you can give, you will be rewarded by making a huge difference to someone's life, helping them to live the life they choose and do the activities they love.
 
Talking of individuals we support, the individuals living in our service enjoy an active lifestyle where they are part of their local community and involved in the decisions about their home. They are supported to identify their aspirations and work towards achieving them; one example of this is Russel who has achieved paid employment.

So if you're looking for a job to love - where you can live your best life alongside the individuals we support, please enquire about the role. The job requires a can-do attitude, and we overcome all our hurdles and challenges as a team.

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 day job, you can work days, nights, and flexible shifts too. Talking of ‘dream’ jobs, some of our shifts are sleep-ins!
 
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!
