Elston House to hold recruitment Open Day
(11 October 2021) Staff from Elston House will be talking about how local jobseekers can make a positive difference to the lives of people with severe and enduring mental illness during an open day to recruit health workers.
The specialist residential service in Top Street Elston, Newark, provides individualised care for adults with autism and challenging behaviour and is recruiting support workers to join their team.
Rowan Marriott, Head of Recruitment at Cygnet Health Care said: “The recruitment challenge facing the health care sector has been well documented recently. Increased demand for specialist services like ours means it is crucial to recruit talented and compassionate individuals to help reduce the current pressure on the sector.
“Previous experience is not essential, but it is important that applicants have a passion for delivering outstanding care and helping others. Many of our most dedicated staff members started out as support workers and they will be on hand to share their experiences at the open day for people interested in a career in care.”
Incentives for new staff include discounts from big brands like Nike, Boots, H&M, Primark, Boohoo, Argos, IKEA, lastminute.com. Cygnet also offers discounted gym membership, free meals onsite, free eye tests and a group pension.
Recruitment in the care sector has never been more important, with the number of vacancies rising above 120,000 nationwide. Elston House promotes physical health, wellbeing and meaningful occupation in its treatment programmes, using strong community links to facilitate individualised wellbeing plans. It is rated as Outstanding by the regulator, the Care Quality Commission.
The Open Day will take place at Elston House, Top Street, Elston, Newark, NG23 5NP on Tuesday 12 October, from 10am to 4pm.
