We are on a mission to reinvent the future of care, so communities are supported to thrive, and all members of the care ecosystem are valued.
We are looking to recruit a Personal Assistant to provide 1-1 support for a young male in Long Whittenham and Wallingford.
Here at BelleVie Care, we are looking for people who know how a simple cuppa can warm the heart. That the power of a compliment can make someone’s day. By just holding a hand, teasing out a smile, or sharing a laugh can mean the world to someone.
It’s this compassion and hidden talent that you don’t think are worth putting on a cv, the parts of you that never really get to shine in your current job, the skills you don’t even know are perfect for care, that we seek out so we can ensure that the people we support can live their best lives.
We don’t just see the value in the expected, we see value in the things other people overlook, we see you for you.
If you’re someone whose warmth and kindness shines through, and who embraces their local community spirit we’d love to hear from you. Because, these are the things we value too. Be part of the community that values all of you. Be part of BelleVie Care.
Caring is a value and a vocation.
Find a career that values you.
Bring your whole self to work #Belleviecare
