About Pendeen Community Care
Pendeen Community Care Ltd is a family run domiciliary care company serving the Camborne and Redruth area. We provide personal care, social visits and domestic support to our clients to enable them to stay in their own homes for as long as possible. We pride ourselves on our low turnover and strong retention at Pendeen. Most of our carers have been with us for several years and have developed their careers with us.
We aim to look after our staff in a similar way to looking after our clients. We know that there are many people in our community who need care, so we are always wanting to hear from people interested in working for us.
You don’t need experience as full training will be given, but you will need to have
· The right to work in the UK (We are not able to offer sponsorship)
· A clean driving licence and access to a vehicle
· Ideally you will have some availability from 7am, evenings and weekends
· A desire to make a positive change to people’s lives
