Are you interested in starting a career in care and support? MTVH is looking for care and support workers to join their friendly team in Barnet. This is an ideal opportunity for someone seeking to start their career in care. You will be working in an extra care supported living service supporting up to 39 older people requiring varying levels of care and support, so while experience in a similar role is helpful it is not essential.

To meet our commitment to providing safe and high-quality services you will be required to complete an enhanced background check with the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS), which will include a check of the Adult Barred list, once an offer of employment is made. A new DBS will be completed every three years.
