Mariposa - who we are

Anyone choosing to join us will have to share the same workplace values as us: We are generous with our time for our team members and for the people we care for, ensuring that we are responsive and effective; We take ownership and pride in everything we do; We look ahead to the future with ideas, technology and investment.

Our values are so much more than empty words though. Instead, we look to these values to drive our everyday actions and behaviours. If you become part of the Mariposa family, you’ll be joining colleagues who always strive to give people their full attention and help when most needed, clearly communicate with others in an open and straightforward way and are expected to actively contribute ideas to improve the way we work.

In return, we are committed to being a good employer. We make sure our people receive appropriate and fair pay, alongside workplace incentives such as private health care schemes, recognition of service awards, enhanced overtime and holiday pay, flexible rotas and wellbeing initiatives.

Registered Nurse job summary
Nurses at Mariposa Care are expected to have significant clinical experience. Reporting to the Clinical Lead, our Nurses proactively lead our Care teams in ensuring the delivery of the highest levels of care and support to residents and their families or friends.

Many of our nursing colleagues have a background working for the NHS or other clinical setting but have chosen to work in a care home for improved flexibility, promotion opportunities or an environment that offers the chance to provide greater continuity of care.

Nurses joining the Mariposa Care Group have access to a career development pathway that can lead to management and leadership roles, while a comprehensive training and refresher programme ensures clinical skills are kept up-to-date.

We expect our nurses to maintain, update and build on their clinical expertise and knowledge, which we support with training and professional development programmes.

Mariposa Care Practitioner jobs and pay

Care Practitioner pay guide
A Care Practitioner job in Carlisle working for Mariposa was advertised as paying £12.04 per hour in August 2024.

Care Practitioner job summary
Care Practitioners come from a wide variety of backgrounds. We understand that some of the very best carers may not necessarily have direct experience working in a care home setting. So, whether new to care or with some experience already, we offer a comprehensive training programme to ensure our team members are happy, confident and competent in their role.

In addition to the clinical and care roles discussed above, there are a number of support jobs including maintanence, business administrator, domestic and catering roles.

We offer full-time and part-time day and night roles. Some bank roles are also available.

From the first day at Mariposa, you will begin your personal development journey to help you gain the skills and knowledge to deliver outstanding care. Whether you are a highly experienced Nurse or new-to-care worker, you will receive a comprehensive induction alongside a tailored learning and development programme through a combination of face-to-face training, virtual workshops and e-learning.

In addition to this, we encourage our staff teams to advance their qualifications. We support apprenticeships and qualifications for all our roles including from Level 2 to Level 5 in Adult Social Care related courses. From Apprentices earning permanent positions to carers working their way to Home and Regional Manager positions, we recognise the importance of progression and investing in your career goals.

Clinical Care Practitioner jobs
Clinical Care Practitioners work with the nursing team to support with clinical care and ensure that residents’ health care needs are met at all times, including the dispensing of medication and delivery of care plans. They act as mentors and supervisors to other care colleagues, and work alongside Clinical Leads on audits, compliance and continuous improvement action plans. We ask for a health and social care Level 3 qualification or equivalent and offer training programmes for our existing team members if this is an opportunity they would like to pursue.

Support worker jobs
The wider staff team also includes our support workers. Whether it’s Business Administrators, Housekeepers, Chefs or Catering Assistants, we recognise the importance of each staff member in ensuring our residents enjoy the best experience while living with us.

We offer part-time and full-time permanent roles on days and nights, as well as bank contracts to fit around existing commitments.

They form part of our dedicated and highly trained team at Kingston Court, with everybody playing their part in the provision of the highest standards of person-centred care for our residents.

At a later stage we can also think about including what each job role does on a day-to-day basis.

Regional Manager jobs
Our Regional Managers work with Home Managers to provide leadership, direction, support and quality assurance for all care homes within a specified geographic area. Working as a critical part of the senior operations management team, they lead a programme of continual improvement within the services that fall under their remit, ensuring action plans are in place to meet compliance with regulatory standards.

Home Manager jobs
Home Managers lead our care home teams to always strive for outstanding, person-centred provision. They have significant experience of embedding robust and effective care policies, procedures and quality assurance systems, and an expert understanding of standards of care and regulatory frameworks. If the role is also clinical, we would require our Home Managers to be an RGN or RMN with an active NMC PIN.

Clinical Lead jobs
Clinical Leads work closely with Home Managers, assisting and deputising when needed to make sure our care homes meet all regulatory and compliance requirements. With significant clinical experience, they are also skilled at coaching and mentoring nursing and care teams to deliver care and support of the highest quality. Alongside an active NMC PIN, our Clinical Leads also have a health and social care qualification – Level 4 Lead Practitioner in Adult Social Care or Level 5 Leader in Adult Social Care – or equivalent, or a commitment to undertake further training relevant to the role.
