FAQs
We understand that applying for a new opportunity can seem daunting. That’s why we’ve answered a few questions below so you know exactly what to expect.
We also know that a traditional interview isn’t always the best and only method of finding the right people to join our team. So, from taster sessions to informal walk-arounds where you can get to know your colleagues before you start with us, we want you to feel confident and fully informed throughout.
Plus, if you choose to join the Mariposa family, you’ll be supported with a tailored induction programme to match your existing skills and experience. You won’t be expected to know everything straight away. We want you to learn and grow with us, and we’ll provide all the training and development you need to do so.
Just don’t put yourself under too much pressure! Remember that we’re people too and we understand that meeting someone for the first time can be stressful. As a rule of thumb, be on time, try and think about why you want to join us and most of all, just be yourself.
It will depend on what role you’re applying for but don’t worry as we’ll tell you what to bring when we send your interview invitation. Don’t forget that if you have any questions at all, or if you need to make any special arrangements, you’ll be given a dedicated point of contact at the home so you can keep in touch with us. Alternatively, you can email recruitment@mariposacare.com
We’ll keep in touch every step of the way and will make sure you stay informed throughout the recruitment process. Very occasionally, we can experience delays outside our control (after all, our homes are busy places) and we need to make sure that all background checks are completed before you start with us. If this is the case, we’ll let you know. If you’d like an update at any time, you can either speak to your contact at the home or email recruitment@mariposacare.com
