We’re recruiting! 💥

Skills for Care tells us that only 22% of the adult social care workforce is male — but here at Alternative Care, we’re proud to have a male-heavy workforce!

That’s why we’re keen to encourage more females to join our amazing team and bring even greater balance and diversity to our Supported Living services across Wakefield. 💜

As a Support Worker, you’ll be helping people to live independently in their own homes, supporting them to live the life they want!

✨ No previous experience? No problem! Full training is provided.

Could this be the rewarding career you’ve been looking for?

Get in touch today by messaging us on facebook for more information or emailling our recruitment team on [email protected] 🙌
