Job description

Our Care Assistants ensure that every one of our residents receive person centred care. They bring out the best in others, whether that is participating in our daily activities, helping them in their personal care/ nutritional meals or writing/updating care plans. Care Assistants are very proactive and recognise the likes and interests of our residents and really go the extra mile to ensure that their needs are catered for. No two days are the same, e.g., one moment you'll be assisting residents with dressing or supporting the nurses with medication, the next you might be attending a social activity or escorting to a hospital appointment, or Our Health Care
Assistants tell us they thrive on the team bond and camaraderie that this role offer. Our residents value the little touches that make them feel special and the Care Assistants really go the extra mile for our residents and will undertake any task that is asked of them to ensure that the best person-centred care is delivered.

You'll need to have empathy, a can-do approach, excellent team-working, and great interpersonal/ communication skills, and a smart appearance. You don't need any specific care experience as we'll provide all the training you need to thrive. Above all, you'll have real compassion for all our residents to deliver the highest standard of care and support.

Excellent opportunities for learning and development.

We will support you with all the training you need, including NVQ qualifications and further clinical training if you want to specialise in specific areas (Dementia/
Residential) etc.
