why work with us
why work with us
We are a small business and like to treat everyone working with us as part of the family. Many of our staff have worked with us for a long time and we like to think it’s not only because of the benefits we offer but the way that we respect them.
We do not have a hierarchical structure and staff can talk to us whenever they need advice. They are supported at all levels and we empower them with the skills and confidence they need to make decisions for their own benefit and to help the people they are caring for.
Schedules are arranged so that care runs are kept in one area, meaning you will not feel the need to rush between one visit and the next. We do this because we understand just how stressful it can be for clients and their families when a carer feels under pressure and then skimps on assigned tasks.
We will make sure that you have enough time to deliver care in a timely and respectful way to the people you are looking after.
The benefits we can offer are:
- Competitive hourly rate above minimum wage – enhanced at weekends and bank holidays and inclusive of travel, time and fuel.
- Holidays are calculated in hours worked, as opposed to those contracted
- A healthy work/life balance and flexible working hours. Our care schedules run seven days a week, 365 days a year, so shifts are always available to fit around family and other commitments.
- A signing bonus of £200 once you have worked for Wisteria Care for six months and are carrying out over 25 hours of work per week.
- Our training programmes are intuitive and empowering and we will work with you if you want to progress into senior care, nursing or management roles.
- Free DBS check
- Free uniform and PPE
- Refer a friend scheme
- Qualification for blue light card
- Use of a company car*
*Company car is not guaranteed, and a monthly cost of £120 p.m. is agreed for use of the car. Mileage for company car is also paid at a lower rate than if using your own car.
We take care of our staff and will fully support you throughout your career, helping you to fulfil your potential in the care industry.
By placing importance on professional development, we ensure our team of carers can provide the very best level of care for the people we look after.
