About the role

As our Care Assistant, you’ll provide compassionate, person-centred care to residents, supporting them with their daily routines and helping them enjoy life in our care home.

• You’ll help residents move around safely and take part in activities and the daily life of the home.

• You’ll follow residents’ care plans and support their individual needs, preferences and choices.

• You’ll observe residents’ physical and emotional wellbeing, recording and reporting any changes or concerns to the appropriate team member.

• You’ll support the safe administration of medication, where trained and authorised, and maintain accurate records in line with procedures.

• You’ll help maintain a clean, safe and welcoming environment for residents, visitors and colleagues.

• You’ll work closely with colleagues to provide consistent, high-quality care and support.

Exceptional people make an exceptional care home

We’re looking for someone who is kind, patient and reliable, with a genuine interest in supporting older people. Good communication skills, a respectful approach and the ability to work as part of a team will help you thrive. Previous care experience is helpful, but training and support can be provided.

We value people who treat everyone with kindness and respect, take pride in their work and want to make a positive difference to the lives of residents and colleagues.
