International recruitment & sponsorship

A new country. A new career. A place to belong.

Moving to another country for work is a big decision. At Serenity Homes, we believe the support you receive should go well beyond your first day on the job.

Many of our colleagues have made the journey to the UK from overseas, and we’re proud to support eligible team members through Skilled Worker visa sponsorship.

We want everyone who joins us to feel welcomed, valued and confident about building a life here, both inside and outside of work.

Helping you feel at home

Starting a new job is one thing. Starting a new life in another country is quite another.

Finding somewhere to live, understanding a new community, arranging schools for your children and being away from loved ones can all feel overwhelming.

We understand that settling in takes time.

That’s why we’ve spent the past three years developing an induction programme that supports our international colleagues through more than just their new responsibilities at work.

We’re here to help you find your feet, understand what to expect and feel part of the Serenity family.

Our approach has also been recognised by Social Care Wales, who invited Elaine, our owner, to share our work with other care providers at its providers’ forum.

Your ambitions matter to us

We don’t just want you to enjoy working here. We want you to have every opportunity to grow.

Many of our international colleagues arrive with valuable experience, qualifications and ambitions for the future. We believe those ambitions deserve encouragement.

We’ve seen colleagues progress from senior carers into nursing roles, while others have taken steps towards becoming senior carers themselves.

Whether you’d like to develop your English, study at college, gain new qualifications or train as a nurse, we’ll do our best to give you the time and support to move forward.

“I don’t want people to come here and feel they’ve reached the end of what they can achieve. I want them to feel supported, believe in their own potential and know there are opportunities to build a future they’re proud of.”Elaine Sardar-Dean, owner of Serenity Homes

A workplace where everyone is respected

Every person who joins Serenity Homes brings something valuable to our team.

Whatever your nationality, faith, background, disability or who you love, you deserve to feel safe, included and respected at work.

We have no tolerance for discrimination, bullying or mistreatment, whether it comes from colleagues, visitors or anyone else.

Every member of our team has a contract of employment, and everyone has the right to raise concerns.

Our speak-up service provides a way to report anything that doesn’t feel right, including concerns about the people responsible for running our homes.

We take those concerns seriously, because looking after our colleagues matters just as much as looking after the people in our care.

Could Serenity be the next step for you?

Whether you’re hoping to develop your career in care or considering a move to the UK, we’d love to hear from you.

We have two homes, and you can contact either team directly to ask about opportunities and sponsorship.
