Introduction
New Lodge is a thriving community in New Earswick that provides care accommodation for people aged 55 and over - a sanctuary for those looking to lead independent lives. The genuine sense of community and togetherness felt among our staff here is what makes it such a great place to work.
You will work as part of a friendly and dedicated team to ensure New Lodge internal & external communal areas are clean and tidy in order to provide a quality living environment for residents and visitors. You will also develop good relationships with our residents and be prepared to be flexible in your duties such as helping with events and talking to residents.
You will be willing to play an integral part in developing our thriving community.
About you
You will need to:
• Have the ability to work on your own initiative.
• Be hardworking.
• Be flexible and comfortable being part of a team.
• Have a friendly and outgoing personality.
• Have good communication skills.
*Please note that this role will be subject to a DBS check*
If you have cleaning experience or have worked in a care environment this would be beneficial although full training will be provided.
In return we offer a real living wage along with a fabulous range of benefits, as well as a programme of training and development which includes nationally recognised qualifications, and an opportunity to progress your social care career.
It's more than just a benefits package; it's support where you need it most
Our benefits package goes above and beyond the standard list of perks offered by other care providers. It goes without saying that care work comes with its challenges. And yes, the role is highly rewarding, but when you're changing lives for a living, we believe you deserve more! That's why we have developed a package that truly impacts your life both inside and outside of work.
The benefits package includes:
33 days paid holiday including bank holidays with the option to buy or sell more
Wellbeing Hub, face-to-face counselling, access to staff network groups and an Employee Support Programme offering confidential support 24/7, 365 days a year
Excellent Pension Scheme with a 6% employer contribution, plus Death in Service
On-call, Overtime and Shift enhancement bonuses
Cost of living support with discounts and vouchers with 800+ retailers, utility services and supermarkets via the Rewards Portal
Emergency Leave, Carers Leave and enhanced new-parent and adoption pay
Health Care Cash Plan and gym membership discounts
Free on-site parking, Season ticket Travel Loan and a Cycle To Work Scheme
