Job description

Care Assistant

Be all you can be with Hamberley

At Hamberley, we believe that our residents deserve something 'Extra Special, Every Day' and we're recruiting for a Care Assistant to help us achieve our goals. At Meryton Place, our Care Assistants are called Homemakers. More than support workers, care assistants or healthcare assistants - they are carers and companions all in one. They have the time to get to know our residents and are trusted to give each person the care they need, in the way they like. Joining us at Meryton Place, our luxury care home that provides residential, dementia, and nursing care for older people, you'll be part of a team that is genuinely passionate about the health and well-being of our residents.

Be different - be a Homemaker

Be at the heart of our award winning homemaker care model. A Homemaker is a unique caring role for a unique person, where you can care with a difference. A varied role where no two days are the same.

Homemakers, our name for care assistants, care for individual people in the way a family member might care for someone in their home. They don't do timetabled task-based care but instead focus on each individual’s needs. Whether that's administering medication, helping make someone's bed, arranging a family meal with loved ones, or taking them to the beauty salon, you'll always be doing something different. Our Homemakers focus on the tiny details that make our residents unique and tailor care to each individual, giving you the chance to make a real difference in residents' lives.

Unlike healthcare assistants or domiciliary care assistants, Homemakers have fewer people to care for but spend more meaningful time with each resident. This makes the role more satisfying and fulfilling, which has contributed to awards for our model.

Opportunities for Learning and Development

We support you with all necessary training, including NVQ qualifications and further clinical training if you wish to specialise in areas like dementia and nutrition.

Supportive Team Environment

We foster a kind and supportive atmosphere, believing that team cohesion enables us to provide the best care and companionship to our residents. This is one of the reasons many of our staff choose to stay with us.

Could you be part of our team?

We provide full training and induction, prioritizing you as a person rather than your specific care experience. If you have experience as a healthcare assistant, care assistant, carer, home care assistant, or domiciliary care assistant and seek a different approach, a nicer work environment, and a more satisfying role, we want to hear from you. If you have no care experience but are passionate, empathetic, and dedicated to helping residents live their lives to the fullest, we will guide you to a rewarding career at Hamberley.
