Social care provider launches Devon recruitment drive
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and corresponding social-isolation, Salutem has launched a recruitment drive in Devon to ensure its local services can continue to deliver comprehensive care to the people it supports.
Salutem is a UK-based social care and education provider with 130 services nationwide. It provides services for children and adults with complex needs including physical and mental disability and mental health. Its Devon services include Westbrooke Grange and the Tobias Centre in Torquay, and Penhayes in Exeter, as well as Devon Community Service.
The company is recruiting to a range of permanent roles across Devon. In particular, it is looking for senior support workers, support workers, team leaders, nurses, speech and language therapists and occupational therapists. For some roles, applicants need have no previous experience, as training will be provided and people of all ages are encouraged to apply.
Kirstie Jones, Group People Director at Salutem, said: “The outbreak of COVID-19 means that Salutem has to ensure that the people we support remain safe, well and continue having as good a life as they can in the current situation.
“Our aim is to enable people to live as independently as possible and support them to do so.
“Working in the wonderful world of care and education is one of the most rewarding and fulfilling things you can do. No two days are the same, so you need be caring, flexible, creative, a problem solver and patient. In return there’s plenty of opportunity to develop and progress through training, qualifications, and career paths.
“If you haven’t considered it, then explore careers within care and education and see how you can support someone to have their best life possible.
“Our roles cover many different areas, from teachers to support workers and everything in between.”
