You will be self motivated and well organised and an individual who is caring and sensitive to the needs of others. You will have excellent communication skills and the ability to understand other peoples needs. 

No two days are the same, so it is essential that you are adaptable, flexible and person centred in your approach. 

You do not need to have experience in care as we do offer full training, however it is essential that you have the right attributes, values and passion. 

This really is a rewarding a career in which you can really make a difference and change lives.

About Coventry City Council

Coventry

At Coventry City Council we never want to hear the words – ‘but that’s the way we’ve always done it!” We are a Council that’s looking for new ways of working to tackle new – and old – challenges. We have had great success already and made great strides in changing the way we deliver services and in the way we work with colleagues. We have brought in a new flexible approach to working – giving staff the power, skills and tools to work from the best place at the best time to get the job done. We have a new Customer Service Centre, more online services for residents, a new Council office building, and a city that is changing to meet a new age of driverless cars and superfast broadband. There’s never been a more exciting time to be a part of Coventry.
