Twenty new jobs to be created by care provider

TWENTY new jobs are to be created in the Warrington area as  home care provider Carewatch Warrington launches a vigorous recruitment drive to meet the increasing demands for its services.   
Carewatch will be holding recruitment information days for those interested in a rewarding career in social care, with a view to recruiting 20 new care workers locally. Information days will be held at Birchwood Shopping Centre on Friday April 22 from 10am–5pm and Tesco Warrington on Thursday April 28 from 10am-4pm
With life expectancy rising thanks to modern medicine and more people adopting healthy lifestyles, experts expect the fastest growing age group to be the over 65s. While this is a positive, Carewatch emphasises the growing need for carers, who are vital to support people in Warrington by enabling them to stay independent in their own homes for as long as possible.
Carewatch will be looking to recruit people who are compassionate, considerate and wish to make a real difference to the lives of others. Flexible working hours are offered – from just a few hours each week to full-time – including alternate weekends.
The role includes providing personal care and practical support to clients, such as helping people with bathing and dressing, shopping and accompanying them to clubs. In return, full training and support will be given.
Ria Lyon, branch manager at Carewatch Warrington, said: “Quality care workers are key to our organisation’s services, but we need to recruit more if we are to meet the challenges of the UK’s ageing population.
“We’re looking for compassionate people to join our team of professionals, enabling our customers to retain their independence, dignity and security, in their own home. This is a demanding but fulfilling career. If you believe you have the right qualities, we’d love to hear from you.”
