As a Care Assistant within RMBI Care Company you will play a vital role in ensuring that all our residents needs have been met and that they are provided with person-centred personal care that enables them to have a perfect day.

You will assist our residents, whilst respecting their dignity and promoting independence, with a wide range of daily activities from bathing, dressing, support with eating and taking medication through to singing, gardening, day trips, and celebrating special events. Your role is to ensure that all our residents can continue to live the lives they love and are encouraged to maintain the activities they have always enjoyed.
