Whether you are volunteering as a stepping stone to a career in care, as a way of learning more about those with dementia or simply to further enrich the lives of our residents, we will be on hand to support you.
Apprenticeships
For those with little or no experience or qualifications in care, an apprenticeship is an excellent opportunity to train whilst you work. Apprenticeships are usually run in partnership with local colleges, who will assist you with self directed learning in a level 3 or level 4 vocational qualification  You’ll be paid for the work done in the care home where you’ll be supported by one of our senior staff. We will also give you the opportunity to take part in the additional mandatory training course which are required for a career in care. Apprenticeships usually last around 12 months, and at the end of the apprenticeship you may be offered a permanent position in one of our care homes.
