What's your idea of working in care? We'd love to share a glimpse of life at Salutem with you!

Firstly, we need to introduce you to the children and young people we support. They love visiting theme parks, keeping pet parrots, eating out, visiting the beach, trampolining, football and much much more??? (We'll leave it there for now or we'd be here ALL day listing their favourite things to do!)

Could you be the friend or role model they need to help them live their best lives?

We're Salutem and we are committed to making a positive impact on the lives of thousands of children and adults in England and Wales across our residential homes, schools and day centres.

Our Support team at Salutem encourage children and young people to fulfil a stable daily routine and achieve their best. That might mean supporting them to go to school or organising a trip to a museum. The children and young people we look after may require complex care, but that doesn't stop them from having fun, laughing hard and loving life.

At Orchard House we believe that teamwork makes the dreamwork! You could say we care for each other as much as we care for the individuals we support, but that's because we know by working well as a team, we will achieve the very best for the children and young people here.

We recently won the Salutem Step Challenge, which was a wellbeing initiative run by our organisation where our teamwork really brought us together to succeed! We were so pleased to be awarded first place after we walked nearly 3.6 million steps, which could have taken us to Greece or Tunisia!

But that's what makes us who we are, we work hard and achieve great things, and we're so lucky to have so much fun while we do it! Not to mention witness the amazing outcomes for the people we support, who really do live their best lives.

If we sound like your type of people and you're looking for a job where fun is on the agenda, please apply today to join our team.

Each day will be different, and the main focus of your role is to provide daily support in our residential services. It's definitely not a normal 9-5, you can work days, nights, and flexible shifts too. Talking of 'dream' jobs, some of our shifts are sleep-ins!

In regards to benefits, at Salutem, any day can be a payday. That's right, you can withdraw up to 30% of your wages via Wagestream, so if you need some cash, we've got you covered.

As a keyworker in the Care sector, you'll hold a valued role in society. You'll qualify for discounts with a Blue Light card and we're signed up to Perkbox which offers over 200 exclusive perks and discounts. If you qualify for a pension scheme and choose to opt in, we'll support you to pay into this.

Inductions and training are a priority, and we're committed to supporting you to find your feet when you join us. We'll pay for any training you need to do your job. We also have an internal staff communications app, Blink, where everyone has a voice and can lean on each other for daily support, and celebrate success too.

For a more confidential chat you can access the Employee Support Helpline, to support you with any issues including financial advice, health and well-being and more.

We have a massive duty of care towards those we support who are often the most vulnerable in society, which is why all our staff are vaccinated against Covid.
