Care and Support job roles

Care and support

Care that feels personal. Support that feels human.

At MHA, care is never just a task list. It is the chance to build relationships that matter, offer comfort when it is needed most, and help older people live later life their way.

We are proud to be one of the leading providers of care homes and retirement living across Great Britain. With 95% of our homes and retirement housing with care schemes rated Good or Outstanding by the CQC, we are committed to delivering care that treats every person as the individual they are.

We use digital care plans across our services, helping you to spend more time with residents and less time on paperwork. It means the care you deliver is more personal, more connected and exactly where it matters most – alongside the people you support.

When you join one of our care or support teams, you become part of a community built on kindness, respect and compassion.

You will be the reason someone feels safe, valued and at home – every single day.

We have a wide range of care careers available – whether you are just starting out or looking to build on your experience:

What we are looking for

You do not need lots of experience to start a care career with us.

You just need:
 

  • Natural compassion, kindness and empathy
  • A genuine passion for supporting older people
  • A commitment to treating everyone with dignity and respect
  • A positive attitude and willingness to learn.
We will give you all the training, support and career development you need to grow your confidence and skills.

Why choose a care career with MHA?

When you join MHA, you are choosing more than a job – you are choosing a career where every day brings meaning and connection.

You will enjoy:
 

  • A full induction, ongoing training and clear career progression opportunities
  • A supportive, inclusive team where your contribution is truly valued
  • A strong package of employee benefits and recognition for your hard work
  • The chance to make a real, lasting difference in the lives of older people.

We are proud to invest in your future.

We offer fully funded support to help you complete recognised qualifications, including the Level 2 Certificate in Adult Social Care and Level 3 Diploma in Adult Care. You can also choose to specialise, with qualifications in areas such as dementia, end-of-life care and more.

If you are a care assistant or senior carer working in one of our nursing homes and want to take the next step into a more clinical role, our Level 5 Assistant Practitioner Apprenticeship offers a fantastic opportunity to progress and work more closely with your nurse colleagues.

If you are looking for a care or support job where kindness leads the way, you will find everything you need to grow and thrive at MHA.
