A POOLE based charity are looking for new new support staff after creating 50 new roles to deal with the increasing demand caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

PramaCare, which has been around for nearly 40 years, support older people in the local area, helping them to remain independent in their own homes.

The charity are offering paid online inductions and face to face training to new recruits.

Chief Executive for Prama Steve Robinson said: “We are supporting people coming home from hospital and are creating 50 new roles to ensure we can continue to assist existing clients as well as others who need our support in these unprecedented times.”

“As care support workers, you will be entitled to key worker school places and a healthcare cashback scheme for yourselves and your families.

“We need to support the increasing demand for our care services. We helped older people feel less isolated before COVID-19 and will continue to do so when this has passed.

“PramaCare is a charity, our focus is helping people enjoy life as they age and treating everyone with dignity and respect, clients, staff and volunteers alike.”

The charity asks for those who wish to apply for the roles to have a driving license and their own transport and are available to work every other weekend.
