Are you a compassionate and driven individual looking for a career that makes a real difference in people’s lives? At Eden Futures, we are dedicated to empowering those with learning disabilities, enduring mental ill health, autism, and other complex needs.
We are eager to connect with passionate individuals committed to providing person-centered care. If you have the empathy, resilience, and dedication it takes to enrich the lives of the individuals we support, we want to hear from you.
If you haven’t worked in care before, we will provide all the required support. When you first join Eden Futures, you will be paid to complete a comprehensive Induction Programme involving face-to-face training, e-learning, and shadowing experienced team members.
Roles are paid at an hourly rate (£11.44 per hour). The salary shown is per annum and is equivalent for information only. The higher rate applies to those aged 23 years and over and is based on 42 hours per week. NLW applies and will be pro-rated based on contracted hours.
We are flexible regarding full—or part-time contracts and will also consider candidates who may be looking for a Bank. Shifts can vary across days, nights, and weekends, offering you the flexibility to work around commitments you may already have.
Application Process
Our organization is committed to safe and fair recruitment, safeguarding, and protecting those we care for and serve. We ensure that all our staff are vetted, selected, trained, and supervised fairly and to a high standard so that they can provide safe, effective, and compassionate care. We conduct telephone screening with our candidates as part of our application process.

As per our privacy notice, all pre-employment checks are carried out by our third-party provider, Adecco.
