About Active Prospects

Are you a people person? Do you like to engage with and help other people? Would you like to make a difference to someone’s life? Why not consider a role in care with Active Prospects. A career in the care sector is renowned for being one of the most rewarding jobs. What makes care work different from other career paths is the level of fulfilment and job satisfaction that many carers experience. You can help someone in need and make their lives that little bit easier every day. And knowing that you make a difference to their day provides a real sense of achievement that’s difficult to experience in many other roles. At Active Prospects, we’re dedicated to ensuring the wellbeing of the people we care for as well as our carers. Our 330 staff work together with 250 people with learning disabilities, autism or mental health needs, facilitating their choices, freedom and control over their lives and encouraging them to achieve a level of independence. We are looking for people from all walks of life and you don't necessarily need care experience - the main thing is that you have the kind of qualities that make someone a good carer like kindness, empathy, patience and being a good listener. As training is such a huge part of what we do, you don’t need to worry about not having the right qualifications – we’ve got you covered. As well as making a huge difference to people's lives every day, if you become a carer with Active Prospects, we support our staff with ongoing learning and development opportunities to enable our carers to strengthen their skills and knowledge.
