Becoming a Superhero
Why join us?
We’re proud of our happy home and are dedicated to creating a place where everyone enjoys coming to work each day.
As part of a lively and supportive team, you’ll get to know residents and help them live with comfort, dignity and as much independence as possible. Your kindness and support can make a meaningful difference to their everyday lives.
About the role
As a Care Assistant, you’ll provide compassionate, person-centred support to residents, helping with daily routines and promoting their wellbeing and independence. You’ll build positive relationships and work closely with colleagues to make sure each resident receives care that respects their needs, preferences and choices. Here are some other important things you need to know:
You’ll support residents with personal care, such as washing, dressing, grooming and toileting, in a respectful and dignified way.
You’ll help residents with meals and drinks, encouraging independence and following individual dietary requirements.
You’ll support residents to move safely and take part in daily activities, following care plans and safe moving and handling procedures.
You’ll spend time listening to residents, offering reassurance and helping them feel comfortable and included.
You’ll observe and report changes in residents’ wellbeing to the appropriate colleagues.
You’ll maintain accurate records and follow care plans, safeguarding guidance, infection prevention procedures and health and safety requirements.
You’ll work collaboratively with colleagues and communicate respectfully with residents, families and visitors.
The Ideal Candidate
Exceptional people make an exceptional care home
We’re looking for someone who is compassionate, patient and dependable, with a genuine desire to support older people. You’ll communicate with warmth and respect, pay attention to individual needs and take pride in helping residents feel safe, valued and in control of their choices.
Previous experience in care is helpful, but a caring attitude and willingness to learn are just as important. You’ll be comfortable working as part of a team, following guidance and treating residents and colleagues with kindness and respect. Training and support will help you develop your skills and confidence in the role.
Caring for Our Mental Health – Together
We believe a happy, supported team delivers the best care. That’s why we’ve signed the Mental Health at Work Commitment – developed by experts with six essential standards that help us create a home where everyone feels safe, valued and able to thrive.
From trained Mental Health Champions to our online Wellbeing & Mindfulness Space, we aim to give our people the tools, time and support they need – because your wellbeing matters here.
