Proud to care
Start a career in care in Havering
We are all aware that the Covid 19 pandemic and response means that more than ever, we need new recruits to join us locally and start a career in care.
To join us at the start of your journey here in Adult Social Care in Havering all you need are the right qualities, like good communication skills and a desire to help others rather than specific qualifications or experience.
You'll learn how to support people who need additional help to live independently.
You could learn to support someone in their own home or in a residential home.
And with on-the-job training and career development support to progress and gain formal qualifications whilst you work, your ambition is being cared for too.
