Joining our existing staff team, flexibility is key as you will cover for absences due to holidays and sickness.

If you are unsuccessful in obtaining the post you have applied for, you could still have an opportunity to work in the care sector in Bridgend to gain experience and progress your career.

We will be happy to discuss a range of options that may be available at interview and confirm if you would be happy for your application details to be shared with other Social Care providers including the Local Authority and Independent providers commissioned by Bridgend County Borough Council.
