Work

Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.

What you'll do at work

Prestige Nursing and Care Redhill is keen to speak with kind and compassionate people. You don't necessarily need to have a professional carer background - if you have looked after anyone, you probably already have many of the skills for care and we can provide training to fill any gaps.

What you will gain:

  • An opportunity to turn your compassion into a profession
  • Flexibility to work around other areas of your life and existing responsibilities
  • Support and training to build on your existing caring skills and experience
  • A range of benefits to complement your hard work and needs

Key Responsibilities:

  • Supporting with personal care and daily routines
  • Assisting with medication
  • Preparing meals and supporting with nutrition
  • Helping with shopping and household tasks
  • Providing companionship and emotional support
  • Supporting clients to access the community and maintain independence

Who you will be:

  • Someone who can be flexible in their approach as the clients you will look after have a range of individual needs, so no two days are the same
  • A compassionate, friendly and empathic person who will revel in the idea of supporting others to fulfil their lives
  • A driver with a full licence and transport able to travel between clients
  • Someone who has either already got an advanced DBS Certificate/PVG or understands they will need to undertake these before they start
  • Someone who will commit fully to the apprenticeship and the role from the start
