Types of Jobs
We work with members of the Jewish community in a wide variety of settings. Our employees understand the particular needs of the people they work with and are committed to providing services of the highest quality.
What work can I do?
Care Work
This could be in residential or nursing care, as a member of a home care team, in a community centre, special day centre for people with dementia or in mental health services. There are some common aspects of the work:
- Physical and personal care
- Practical and emotional support
- Providing a caring and stimulating environment
Previous experience in social care work is useful, but not essential - you may have experience from voluntary work or caring for a relative.
Social Work
As well as qualified social workers, we employ social work assistants in our four regional offices in Golders Green, Herts, Redbridge and Hackney, as well as call centre advisers.
Youth & Community Work
We employ full and part-time youth workers at Sinclair House in Redbridge. They encourage young Jewish people to participate in educational, cultural and sporting activities.
Support and Administration
Based in north west London these are the central services that underpin the care work of the organisation - Finance, IT, Human Resources, Property, Administration etc.
Fundraising and Marketing
Although many of our services are financed by local authorities, we still depend on voluntary income. We look for creative people, with a flair for original and innovative ideas, who can develop fundraising and marketing opportunities.
Other specialist services
We also offer help and support to:
- blind and visually impaired people
- people with physical and sensory difficulties
- survivors of the Holocaust
Hours of work
Weekly hours vary from 35 to 42 per week, depending on where you work. In residential and nursing homes, staff work either day shifts or night shifts. We can usually offer part-time or flexible hours if you are not looking for a full-time job.
