Northumberland County Council has joined up with independent sector providers to host a social care recruitment pop-up event in Berwick Library on Wednesday, 18 May, from 10am to 4pm. 
 
There are roles available now within council teams, with independent providers, and working directly for people who make their own arrangements. 
 
The event is an opportunity for people to find out more about the roles available in their area and talk to people who already work in the sector. 
 
Cllr Wendy Pattison, cabinet member for adults' wellbeing said: “Social care is a hugely rewarding career with opportunities to work flexibly in your local community. 
 
“People come into careers in care for all sorts of reasons. Some have cared for a family member or friend, others have family members working in the sector, so they know how rewarding it is. 
 
“It can be a great way to get back into work because you don’t need any qualifications to start, you’ll be given all the support and training you need and there are plenty of opportunities for career progression. 
 
If you’re a caring person who would like to make a positive difference every day, we’d love to hear from you.”
