Real Perks & Benefits
At Mariposa Care, we deeply value our team members and are committed to providing a comprehensive range of perks and benefits to support and enhance your career with us. Here’s an overview of what we offer:
Private Healthcare and Wellbeing
At Mariposa Care, we prioritise your health and wellbeing, which is why we offer access to WPA, a not-for-profit health insurance company. With WPA, you can claim back costs on everyday healthcare expenses, helping to ease the financial burden of medical treatments.
Employees can claim reimbursements on a wide range of treatments, including dental care, optical expenses, therapy sessions, hospital stays, specialist consultations, GP charges and even NHS car parking costs.
Levels of cover and annual benefits vary depending on your chosen category. Learn more about WPA here.
Training & Development
We are committed to helping you develop your skills and advance your career. Our comprehensive training matrix ensures that every role within our homes has a tailored learning pathway, including face-to-face sessions and e-learning courses.
In addition to mandatory training, we offer a wide range of additional courses and professional development opportunities, helping you gain new qualifications and enhance your progression. We are proud of our strong track record in developing talent within our teams and promoting from within.
All new starters benefit from a 12-week induction programme, designed to ensure you feel confident and fully prepared in your role from day one.

Teamwork & Support
At Mariposa Care, you’ll be part of a strong, supportive team that values collaboration and sharing ideas. In addition to your colleagues within your care home, you will also receive support from our regional operational management team and central support teams, including HR, finance, marketing, IT and estates.
You’ll also have your opportunity to have your say in our regular surveys and Team Committee meetings held throughout the year. The meetings are open to all Mariposa Care team members.
Free Meals, Fresh Fruit and Uniform
All Mariposa team members are entitled to a free meal prepared by our talented chefs within the home. If you would like to eat with our residents and enjoy the delicious meals we have on offer each day - simply let your manager know ahead of time and get their approval.
You’ll also have access to free tea and coffee, and you can help yourself to a selection of seasonal fresh fruit which we make available for everyone to enjoy.
It’s important for you to feel comfortable at work so, depending on your role, we’ll provide you with free uniform.

We believe in investing in our people from day one and ensuring you can join our team without any upfront costs is just one way we show our support. Plus, when it comes to your mandatory 3-yearly DBS re-checks, we’ll take care of those too, completely free of charge.
We also cover the costs for PIN revalidation.
Even More Perks and Rewards
At Mariposa Care, we love recognising and rewarding our incredible team. That’s why we offer a fantastic range of additional incentives to show our appreciation for all that you do.
Do you have a friend or family member who’d be a great fit for our team? With our Refer a Friend scheme, you could earn £1,000 when they join, and they’ll get £100 after passing probation. We also love celebrating our Employee of the Month winners and give all our Home Managers a recognition fund to reward those who go the extra mile.
Got a brilliant idea that could make all the difference? Our Trailblazer Fund is here to help bring your vision to life, supporting projects that align with our employer values of being generous, sustainable, and responsible. And, if you help welcome a new resident to one of our homes, you’ll receive an Occupancy Incentive as a thank you for spreading the word about our wonderful care community.
Plus, as a member of the Mariposa Care team you’ll be eligible to join the Blue Light scheme which gives access to hundreds of high street discounts and deals.
