Transferable Skills

Have you considered a career in social care but felt that you lacked the relevant experience?

We offer full and ongoing training within our own, North Tyneside based training centre. However, you may already have skills which apply to professional care provision.

As a values-based employer, we want to hear from you if you know that you have the behaviours we’re looking for in our care professionals. By demonstrating the right skills and behaviours, our experienced care managers can see very quickly if you’ll fit into our existing teams.

As full training is provided, we consider your ability to bring professionalism, personality and a drive to deliver to your role. Our care professionals are kind, caring and empathetic. They think on their feet and know who to contact if they have any concerns about their customers or their role.

Personal qualities

Providing professional, quality care is all about people and relationships. We want team players who are real people persons. You will need to be approachable and dependable.

The care role requires patience, especially as some customers may be living with physical or cognitive impairments. The role can vary from supporting with shopping or domestic chores, offering friendship and companionship to supporting with personal care, medication prompts and more experienced care teams can support those living with dementia (with additional training).

Are you an organised person with the ability to prioritise your work? Do you have good timekeeping skills? Can you form relationships with customers and your team? If you can answer yes to these questions you could be about to begin your career in care with us in Newcastle or North Tyneside.
