Senior BSL Care Assistant

Please note - unfortunately we cannot accept applications that require Sponsorship

We are excited to be recruiting a Senior BSL Care Assistant to join our brand-new Deaf Household at Heanor Park Care Home. This is a full-time position, working 35 hours per week across five shifts.

We have an opportunity for people who can use BSL (British Sign Language) to support deaf members of our community. We want you to bring a passion for helping elderly deaf residents maintain an independent lifestyle. We are currently recruiting both full-time and part-time positions.

We will pay you an attendance bonus just for turning up to work!

About this role

The ideal candidate must be flexible in working all shifts.

It might not be that you have any paid experience providing care to others; however, you may have looked after and given care to a friend or family member. You will need to have experience of administering medication and possess or be willing to work towards your NVQ3 qualification.

Working for an established care provider like Ashmere, you start your journey with us by attending our monthly new starter company induction with all new joiners from all of our homes. We will kit you out with uniform, pay for your DBS check, and provide you with regular training.

As well as the above we also have:

• Annual Ashmere Awards Ceremony
• Discretionary Attendance Bonus (so you get paid to come to work!)
• Eligible for Blue Light Card subscription.
• Refer a Friend Scheme (which can earn you up to £200!)
• Pension
• Ongoing Training and Development
• Staff Incentives
• Enhanced rate of pay for bank holidays!
• A fantastic employee wellbeing programme

If you believe you have the right skills and attributes for this role, we'd love to hear from you!
