Job Description

Job Overview

We are seeking a compassionate and dedicated Senior Healthcare Assistant to join our team. In this role, you will provide essential support to individuals in a nursing home setting, ensuring their comfort and well-being. You will work closely with senior care staff to implement care plans and assist residents with daily activities. Strong communication skills and a commitment to delivering high-quality care are essential for success in this position.

Duties

Assist residents with personal care tasks, including bathing, dressing, and grooming. Support the implementation of individual care plans tailored to each resident's needs. Monitor and report any changes in residents' health or behaviour to the supervising staff. Maintain a clean and safe environment for residents by adhering to hygiene standards. Engage with residents through meaningful conversation and activities to promote their mental well-being. Collaborate with the healthcare team to ensure effective communication and continuity of care.
