We support older people across Conwy to live as independently as possible in their own home, supporting them to regain and maintain skills that allow them to be part of their community.

• A four week rolling rota enabling you to plan around your home life 12 months in advance
• Good rates of pay and enhanced rates for evening and weekend work
• FREE training and qualification courses
• Ability to progress into a number of other care roles within Health and Social Care

We welcome non-Welsh speakers, Learners as well as fluent Welsh speakers to apply.  A good standard of spoken English is required to communicate with individuals.
