Working in domiciliary care is not right for everyone...

...but might it be right for you?

Do you want a career in domiciliary care? Yes we did say a career in care. Let's just emphasise that again, because at Caremark Thanet, we are looking for people who want a career not just a job. 

Working in domiciliary care is one of the most challenging yet rewarding jobs that there is. At Caremark Thanet, we have some of the most exciting opportunities around for talented, ambitious people who work in domiciliary care or who would like to work in domiciliary care. If this sounds like something that might interest you, we invite you to join us at Smith Court's Hotel in Margate on Wednesday 30 January at 10.00 am to found out more about us. 

Our Open Day

We are not just another domiciliary care company. We are different. We are different for many reasons. Too many reasons to go into in this article. This article can only give you a taste of why we are different. If you find this taste palatable and your appetite is whetted, why not do a bit of research and find out about us. Look at our website, Facebook page, blog and our reviews on homecare.co.uk. When you have done that ask yourself one question: Is Caremark Thanet the type of company that I want to work for? 

Caremark carer and customer

If you answer yes, then you must come along to our open day and see what we have to offer. The day will start at 10.00 am and we should be finished by 12.00-12.30. Smith's Court Hotel is a fabulous venue where we are always made to feel very welcome.

The format for the day will run something like this. We'll begin with a short presentation that will tell you a little about us, our ethos, our expectations of you and what you can expect from us. We will also touch on some of the amazing training opportunities that we can offer to the right people. We will also explain some of the other rewards - like progression opportunities - that are available for talented people who want a career in care.

Next we'll have a talk from our training manager who will tell you much more about our training opportunities and our initial training course that everyone undertakes. 

You will also hear about our community engagement activities. At Caremark Thanet we are a community engaged organisation. We believe passionately that we can do more than provide outstanding home care. We do more by being a community engaged organisation.We live in an interconnected world. Everyone who works for Caremark Thanet, and everyone who is cared for by Caremark Thanet, is part of the Thanet and wider East Kent communities. There is extensive evidence that shows that connected communities are healthier communities. We believe that our community engagement programme contributes in a small but positive way to the store of community well-being.

We will then give you the opportunity to talk openly to one or two of our carers and one of our customers. You can ask whatever questions you like. This is your chance to find out what it is really like to work for Caremark Thanet and to be cared for by Caremark Thanet. 

Finally, if you feel that we might be what you are looking for, we will give you an application pack to take away. 

If you would like to come along to Smith's Court Hotel on Wednesday 30 January, contact our Business Development Manager, Jemma Clayton to reserve your place. Jemma can be contacted on 01843 235910; or jemma.clayton@caremark,co.uk.

Care and Support Worker Recruitment Open Day: 10.30 am, 21 November 2017, Yarrow Hotel, Broadstairs

Join Us at Our Care and Support Worker Recruitment Open Day

Caremark Thanet is a domiciliary care company that provides care throughout Thanet. On 21 November we will be holding one of our Care and Support Worker Open Days at the Yarrow Hotel in Broadstairs. The event will start at 10.30 am and should be finished by about 12.00 noon. 

These events have proved incredibly popular with people looking to work in domiciliary care. The main purpose of the event is to provide potential care and support workers with information about working in care generally, and working for Caremark Thanet more specifically.

Working in domiciliary care presents challenges and brings enormous rewards. It is a career that is not for everyone. If you have never worked in care and want to get some idea about what is involved; this event is just right for you. Experience is useful but not essential. What we look for is people who are caring, reliable, hardworking and flexible.

If you have care experience and are looking for new opportunities, you will probably be more concerned about finding out what it is like working for Caremark Thanet. Working for us will not suit everyone. We have high expectations; in turn; you rightly should have high expectations of us. We are a company that is prepared to invest in the right people. If you feel you have something to offer; come along and see what we can offer you.

Whatever your level of experience, why not come along and see how we are transforming domiciliary care.

The format of the session will probably go something like this:

First, there will be an introduction session led by our Business Development Manager, Jemma Clayton.

Second, there will be a presentation from the managing director of Caremark Thanet, Garry Costain. This presentation: gives the audience a little bit of information about our history; emphasises the company’s ethos based on an uncompromising approach to the quality of care delivery and valuing of our carers; outlines the benefits of working for us and the wider opportunities available, and rounds off with a glimpse of the plans for how our success story will continue.

Third, there will be an opportunity to ask Garry any questions that the audience might have.

Finally, we always try to invite along one or more of our carers so that the audience can ask questions directly to someone who is, in fact, doing the job.

The feedback from our previous open days has been extra-ordinarily positive. Most people go away with one of our application packs and we subsequently interview several candidates and offer jobs to some.

Spaces are limited so you are strongly advised to book a place. To guarantee your place, please contact Jemma Clayton on 01843 235910 or email jemma.clayton@caremark.co.uk.
