The scope of Forest Healthcare’s latest recruitment drive
Forest Healthcare is a well-regarded network of private care facilities, with 13 centres offering both personalised and specialist care. Services include stroke rehabilitation, young disabled care, end-of-life and palliative care, and acquired brain injury support.
All Forest Healthcare centres are CQC-regulated, with excellent inspection outcomes, and adhere to the company’s core values. These focus on creating a culture of choice, inclusion, respect, and empathy for centre residents, their families, and the staff who work there.
Having expanded considerably over the years, Forest Healthcare was established in 1994, with its first centre, Ash Court, opening in 1999 in Camden, swiftly followed by Bridgeside Lodge and the Forest Care Village, both purpose-built to provide quality care in the London region.
As demand for private accommodation, 24/7 nursing assistance, and customised, person-centric care grows, Forest Healthcare has continued to advertise new vacancies, welcoming applicants who embody the Forest Healthcare ethos.
Current job vacancies at Forest Healthcare
Opportunities to join the Forest Healthcare teams include permanent, full-time and part-time roles, daytime and overnight shifts, housekeeping and catering positions and caring vacancies with full training provided for those new to the sector or without previous care experience where relevant.
For job seekers at all stages of their careers, some of the featured vacancies include:
● Full-time and part-time Kitchen Assistants in North London
● A full-time Activities Coordinator based in Maidstone
● Overnight full-time shifts working as a Clinical Manager in Borehamwood
● Part-time and permanent Laundry Assistants in London
● Permanent, full-time Health Care Assistants in Finsbury Park
All roles include paid induction training to ensure new personnel have the knowledge and skills to carry out their responsibilities, along with a generous annual leave entitlement, uniforms, enhanced pay at weekends, access to a workplace pension scheme, and ongoing training opportunities.
Some roles require candidates to have their own transport, and most will require an Enhanced DBS check, as staff will be in contact with centre residents and families. Each centre specifies in its vacancy description whether there is a preference or need for pre-existing experience.
Workplace expectations for candidates applying for roles with Forest Healthcare
Each centre within the group has its own specialisms, facilities and grounds, but the common theme, and a reason for the many accolades collected by the group, is an emphasis on kindness and respect.
Centre managers are professionals with extensive expertise and foster cultures of communication and friendship, where personnel work cohesively to support tailored care planning and meet each individual’s needs.
Applicants are expected to commit to working effectively with all people involved in the lives and welfare of centre residents, and to abide by the group’s aims, objectives, and philosophy, as well as its policies and procedures.
Chief Executive Officer, Amanda Scott, speaking on behalf of Forest Healthcare says, “We’re immensely proud of the standards of care we offer, and to hear first-hand from local families about the impacts this has on their peace of mind, and the happiness and well-being of the people we look after.
While skilled, talented care professionals are always welcome to apply, we place equal importance on character. We are often able to consider candidates who will make amazing team members once they have completed the necessary training.”
