Whether you’re an experienced professional, a newly qualified graduate or someone with a passion for caring, these roles present a fantastic opportunity for you to develop your career in adult social care.

There has never been a better time to join Nottinghamshire as we have mobilised our social care teams and issued all employees with tablet devices to enable them to work more flexibly and reduce overall travel time.

What we offer:

• Mileage payment
• An Electric vehicle car leasing scheme

If you are great with people, helpful and enthusiastic and have 2 years’ experience of caring and supporting people either in a paid, personal, or voluntary capacity then you could be just the person we’d be proud to welcome to our team here in Nottinghamshire. 

Our priority is to provide good quality social care service to Nottinghamshire residents, in particular focussing on:
