It’s been a tough year in the world of work. 12 months ago, we had never heard the term ‘furlough’ and headline making numbers of redundancies were a rarity. Over the last year many of us have started to wonder what’s next for our careers or are contemplating a change in path.

If that all sounds a bit too familiar for you, and job uncertainty is now a reality for too many, you may be delighted to hear of a local company bucking the trend.

Local care home company Springfield Healthcare are growing. In addition to their existing portfolio, which includes the ground-breaking Chocolate Works Care Village in York, they have three new care homes planned for North Yorkshire in the next 2 years.

As a result Springfield are recruiting for a variety of roles in all their homes. There are currently vacancies for nurses, care assistants and housekeeping. And they offer a fantastic reward package which includes excellent salaries and holiday allowance, continuing job development and learning, staff recognition schemes and career progression opportunities.

York Press:

Springfield is a great place to work. Sarah Paskett, Registered General Nurse and manager of The Chocolate Works said “I love the environment, and most importantly the time that you get to spend with people. You have the opportunity to make a long term difference to residents and their families and this is incredibly rewarding. There are also lots of career opportunities and the long term prospects within private healthcare are very good. I’m responsible for a team of 150 people, amongst them nurses, carers, housekeepers, admin staff ... the list goes on. I have a fantastic team here at The Chocolate Works Care Village, we’re well supported in a dynamic and growing business but caring for people is still at the centre of everything that we do.”
