Jewish Care

About Us

We are a leading health and social care charity for the Jewish community in London and the South-East. Although we care for a specific community, our employees come from all faiths, backgrounds and nationalities. It also means they’re valued and supported in just the same way we value the people we care for - at Jewish Care, love is at the heart of all we do.

Our campuses offer unique services including care and nursing homes, Retirement Living apartments and community centres.

We provide care that is Jewish at heart for older people. And we support their family members every step of the way. Every week, we touch the lives of 10,000 people.

Our Purpose

We want to make a positive impact on the lives of Jewish people by providing excellent social care that enhances their well-being and helps them to stay connected to their community.

We’re also committed to inspiring our employees, developing their careers and creating an environment where they love every day.

Why Us

Our five values are at the heart of the way we work. They drive how we act as individuals and as an organisation and shape our culture.

Our values are:

  • Excellence - We are ambitious, professional and passionate about offering high-quality services delivered with dedication and sensitivity.
  • Integrity - We treat people fairly and are accountable for what we do and how we do it
  • Innovation - We are adaptable and creative, we welcome new ideas and believe in finding solutions that work for each individual.
  • Compassion - We consciously work in a caring and empathetic way, we are considerate of others and put kindness at the heart of everything we do.
  • Inclusivity - Everyone involved with Jewish Care is important and deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.
  • Inclusion & Diversity

At Jewish Care, we are committed to ensuring all our staff feel valued and included.

We have a number of staff networks aimed to promote equality, diversity and inclusion – these include our REACH (race, ethnicity and cultural heritage) network and our LGBTQ+ network for staff and service users. We are a Disability Confident Employer, and in a recent survey, 95% of staff surveyed felt Jewish Care embraced diversity and inclusion.

Why Jewish Care?

We offer excellent benefits to reward you for your hard work, dedication, and commitment.   Competitive rates of pay are reviewed annually.

A wide range of benefits, rewards, and well-being support through our Jewish Care Benefits platform. These include:

●        A huge range of discounts at major retailers and supermarkets

Fair Pay

We are happy to announce that Jewish Care now pays all members of staff the current London Living Wage.

We care about our employees as much as the people we support, which is why we pay all our staff a minimum of £11.95 per hour. So, whether you’re a carer, a bus driver, an administrator or a finance operative, you can rest assured you’ll be rewarded fairly for what you do.
