Chance for people out of work in Devon to become keyworkers
Proud to Care Devon has launched a campaign to recruit 2,000 more Care Workers urgently in the county, particularly in domiciliary care and care homes.
The campaign is encouraging those looking for training opportunities to consider if their skills and values are suitable for a career in care. Proud to Care is offering free one-to-one telephone support to find out if a job in care is right for you.
You don’t necessarily need qualifications or previous experience. What’s important are your core skills, values and your attitudes towards working with people who need care. Furthermore, thanks to the European Social Fund, there are free and flexible courses to support people to find the right role, or to take a step up, in health and social care.
The courses are being offered by partners across Devon including Learn Devon, City College Plymouth, South Devon College, Exeter College and Petroc.
The Find Your Calling campaign aims to mobilise an army of new care workers in Devon, encouraging people with the right values and core skills to apply.
The campaign calls for people to register their interest by completing a quick online form at www.proudtocaredevon.org.uk/findyourcalling/. Applicants will get a call back and the offer of free one-to-one support to find out if a job in care and health is right for them.
