At Evermore Care, we are actively recruiting across our homes – and our innovative recruitment days are proving to be a brilliant way to connect with future colleagues.
Recently, our team at Astley View Care Home in Chorley welcomed candidates to a lively and engaging recruitment event. The two-hour session combined care-focused group exercises with creative activities, giving people a real insight into what life is like at Evermore.
Candidates worked together on team challenges such as:
- Building an Evermore Care Home from paper, card and sweets, before presenting their vision of what makes the perfect home.
- Designing ‘care cakes’, reflecting the key ingredients that make up a supportive and compassionate care team.
The atmosphere was warm, inclusive and fun, with candidates sharing how much they valued the chance to learn about Evermore and demonstrate their skills in a relaxed setting.
One candidate told us:
“I enjoyed the warm welcome from the Astley View team, treating everyone respectfully and equally. I loved the exercises and practical work in different teams, and the company of all the staff guiding us through the tasks with smiles that truly gave us the chance to prove ourselves.”
The event was a great success, with seven job offers made for Care Assistants across day, night and twilight shifts.
Recruitment days like this show that our process is not only about finding the right people for our homes, but also about giving candidates a positive, memorable experience that reflects our values of kindness, compassion, energy and teamwork.
We are currently looking for a Night Team Leader and a Senior Care Assistant to join our wonderful team at Astley View. If you are passionate about providing excellent care and would like to find out more about working with Evermore, please apply today.
