Cheshire-based provider New Care said it expects to create 800 jobs in the next two years as it prepares to double in size through new care home openings.
This year, New Care will open a further three new care facilities in Adel, Wilmslow and Lymm, and a further four care homes are also under construction with practical completion dates planned throughout 2023 and early 2024.
With 810 employees currently, the creation of 800 new jobs over the course of the next two years will see New Care double in size.
Championing careers in care, New Care will be recruiting a wide range of individuals covering care, hospitality, housekeeping, maintenance and wellbeing.
Alex Fairhurst, New Care’s recruitment lead, is a social care ambassador for the Greater Manchester Health & Social Care Careers Hub, and she aims to demonstrate the mix of job opportunities available, breaking down the stigma about working in social care and ultimately inspire individuals to consider a career in the sector.
Fairhurst (pictured, centre) started her career as a care assistant with Four Seasons Health Care, progressing to administrative positions, before joining New Care in a recruitment role.
“Working in the care sector is hugely rewarding and as a company, New Care understands how important it is to highlight this,” she said.
“With a good selection of roles available within each of our care facilities, we can nurture careers across a number of industries, from chefs, waiters, front of house and housekeeping to carers, nurses, wellbeing and recruitment.”
Fairhurst continued: “My own career in care is reflective of this. It really is an incredibly exciting time to work for New Care as the company continues to expand. With the opening of several new care homes in the pipeline for the next 24 months, recruitment will play a large part in the firm’s future strategy.”
