What we are looking for

You’re someone that cares for others and wants to make a real difference to people’s lives. Ideally, you have some experience in a care environment, although this is not as essential, as training is provided. You understand there will be challenging days, but you’ll also laugh, have fun and make lasting memories with our residents and your colleagues. A great communicator, you’ll enjoy working in a close-knit team that feels like a family, with people from all walks of life. You’ll cherish the rewarding moments you have with our residents each and every day.

You may not have worked in a care home before, and that's fine, we can support you and give you all the training and guidance to help you succeed, and if you want this to be your new career then we would be happy to support you through completing QCF qualifications in Health & Social Care.

Your typical day

• Assisting residents with personal care duties such as bathing, dressing, and bathroom visits. Providing the highest standards of care, you’ll champion the dignity, and independence of all our residents
• Supporting residents at mealtimes: helping to serve meals and transferring residents to the dining room
• Supporting the Registered Manager and Senior Care Assistant to complete monthly and weekly checks to monitor the health of our residents and reporting any significant changes
• Attending planned activities: assisting the team, repositioning, providing care as necessary and taking part in day trips outside the home (day shift only)
• Updating food, fluid and stool charts, supplementary files, daily notes and care plans

What’s in it for you

• Comprehensive induction, on-going training and development
• NEST workplace pension
• 28 days annual leave pro rata
