Our healthcare teams are the beating heart of everything we do here at Select Healthcare. Working in care is an extremely rewarding and enriching experience people enter into every day. Now more than ever, those taking on healthcare roles are providing much needed and skilled services for people from all walks of life. Our nurses provide vital care for our guests in our care homes nationwide, supplying a friendly face and a welcoming environment for everyone who enters through our doors. However, brilliant healthcare is not just made up of nurses. Our teams of healthcare professionals enjoy a wide range of healthcare careers that don’t involve nursing or nursing qualifications. Here are just a few.
Becoming a Support Worker
At Select Healthcare, we provide a range of services from our welcoming care homes. Our support workers are a key part of this and provide care for all of our guests whether they have physical disabilities, degenerative neurological disorders or simply require a helping hand and a smiling face. Our support worker careers offer engaging pathways with a focus on employee development and person-centred care. With competitive pay and continuous training, a support worker career could be the perfect first step in a long rewarding career in the healthcare profession.
Becoming an Activities Coordinator
One of the main parts of making our care homes as friendly and as enjoyable as possible is the wide selection of activities we offer to our residents. Our Activities Coordinators are key to keeping this running like clockwork and are forever thinking up new tasks and programmes to keep our guests occupied and having fun whilst stimulating them mentally and physically. Part of being an Activities Coordinator in one of our care homes is talking to our guests about the sort of activities they would like to do and organising programmes both internally and through external providers to meet their needs and abilities so motivation and people skills are key.
Therapist Careers
If you are passionate about therapy and looking for a new challenge, working in care could be the perfect new opportunity for you to advance your career. Our qualified therapists are integral to providing the best care to our residents and working in healthcare provides a varied career path for those who work in our care homes. Keeping mentally and physically healthy is key to our residents’ overall wellbeing, our care home therapists are an important part of care home life in our residences. Our therapists tackle a wide range of conditions and needs to ensure our residents remain happy and healthy throughout their time with us.
Healthcare offers a wide range of careers for a wide variety of skills in both our care homes and elsewhere in the Select Healthcare group. If you are looking to start a career in healthcare, take a look at our healthcare jobs over on the careers page.
