Care worker roles in Leeds paying £9 an hour and you can start next week

A charity in Leeds is looking for loads of new staff members to join its team as part of a huge recruitment drive.

Community Integrated Care is offering paid work to look after some of the most vulnerable people across the city during the coronavirus pandemic.

It is offering an enhanced minimum hourly rate of £9 an hour, which will remain in place until at least the end of June due to the desperate need for more carers.

The charity supports more than 3,500 people across the country, but the strict lockdown measures and risk of infection mean that many more carers are now needed in Leeds.

New recruits will start earning within a week after undergoing an intensive three-day training course.

A number of roles in frontline services are on offer, such as supporting people with learning disabilities, autism, mental health concerns or dementia with their daily routines.

Teresa Exelby, chief people officer at Community Integrated Care, said: "We know that at this difficult time, many people in our communities are seeking reliable work opportunities as a result of the impact of coronavirus.

"At the same time, care providers like us more than ever need to find great people who can work in our frontline services.

"We’re excited to be welcoming hundreds of new colleagues to Community Integrated Care who will all be a fantastic addition to our teams across the country."
