About us:

Ashley Care has led from the front in the care sector since 1987, and in homecare specifically since 2003. We are a family-run company with a strong family ethos. We offer flexible working hours to fit around our staff and their families. Unlike many home care providers, we operate a weekly payroll, so you are renumerated quicker for the work you do. Delivering care throughout the Southend Borough allows us to create small, focused areas of care needs, meaning less travel time and greater efficiency for staff working out in the community. Whether you are new to social care or an experienced professional, we have training programmes to support your ongoing professional development.

Our organisation is committed to safe and fair recruitment, safeguarding and protecting those we care for and serve. We make sure all our staff are vetted, selected, trained, and supervised fairly and to a high standard so that they can provide safe, effective, and compassionate care.

Our "I CARE" Values:

At Ashley Care we hold our own "I CARE" values. We are committed to values' based recruitment, and expect all members of our team to share our values.

Inclusive

: We are committed to providing an inclusive service for those we care for and those in our team, and we understand and respect that people have different needs. We celebrate diversity and tackle discrimination to create a safe and inclusive environment, which supports human rights, equality, and empowerment.

Collaboration

: We are committed to quality kind and compassionate care, and give those we care for our full attention and support. We value collaboration and working as a team. We display empathy to those we care for and others on our team, and use self-awareness to recognise the impact of our behaviours.

Accountability

: By listening, respecting, and communicating effectively, we are able to build two way relationships with those we work with and care for that are based on trust. We do the right thing and act with credibility, accountability and professionalism.

Respect

: We act with compassion, honesty, and respect people's right to choose how they would like to live and be cared for. We treat people with respect and dignity regardless of their culture, religion, race, age, or disability. We recognise and appreciate the contribution of our team, and communicate with those we care for in a polite, clear, and open way.

Effective

: We are committed to delivering high-quality care which means continuously learning and improving our service. We gather and share feedback to identify ways we can improve to better meet the needs of our team and service users. We support and mentor others to enable them to learn new skills. We are willing to embrace new ways of working and new technology, to improve our services and add value to the care we provide.

This role requires you to work in Regulated Activity. It is a criminal offence for people who are barred from working in Regulated Activity (under the Safeguarding and Vulnerable Groups Act 2006) to apply for roles that require them to work unsupervised with that particular group (i.e. adults at risk, children or both).
