Are you looking for a rewarding local career with a family-friendly team?
Someone asked me the other day: "Alan, are you advertising for staff again?"
Yes, I am! But don't forget, I have 120 incredible people working for me. In a team that size, people naturally move on for plenty of good reasons:
• 📈 Career Progression: Our Care Team Leaders and Managers love it here and stay for decades! Because senior roles rarely open up, our talented support workers sometimes climb the career ladder elsewhere or head off to university for nurse training. We love seeing them succeed!
•
• 🏡 Retirement & Life Changes: We love employing staff aged 50+ because of the incredible life skills they bring. Eventually, they get to enjoy a well-deserved retirement! Other times, team members welcome new babies and return on flexible, reduced hours.
•
• 🌱 Company Growth: Over the last 40 years, we’ve grown from one shared house in Rishton to 9 shared houses, a daycare and community centre, and an outreach team across Rishton and Great Harwood.
•
• 💼 The Real World: I'll be honest—very rarely, I've had to make the tough call to let someone go who let the team down. That's just business.
•
My name is Alan Wilkinson, and my quest for great staff continues.
