Summary

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 Cambridge Grove Care Home, 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 Cambridge Grove, 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.

Working Pattern: 12 hour shifts and working alternate weekends on a rota basis.

• Competitive salary and benefits package
• 28 days holiday (inclusive of Bank Holidays)
• Quality bonus scheme linked to CQC rating
• Workplace pension
• A supportive and collaborative working environment
• Opportunities for professional development and training
• Access to high street discounts via our mobile‑friendly HapiApp benefits platform

Be different – be a Homemaker

Be at the heart of our award‑winning homemaker care mode. 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 care for individual people in the way a family member might care for someone in their home, administering medication, helping make someone's bed, arranging a family meal or taking them to the beauty salon – you will always be doing something different.
• A chance to make a real difference to our residents' lives. With fewer people to care for, you spend more time with each resident, creating a more satisfying and fulfilling role that benefits both you and the person you care for.
• Excellent opportunities for learning and development. We will support you with all the training you need, including NVQ qualifications and further clinical training if you want to specialise in areas such as dementia and nutrition.
• Supportive team environment. Kindness and support for one another enable us to show genuine companionship to our residents, fostering a workplace where people stay long‑term.

Could you be part of our team?

We provide full training and induction, so we're more interested in you as a person than your specific care experience. You may have experience as a healthcare assistant, care assistant, carer, home care assistant or domiciliary care assistant and are looking for a different approach, a nicer work environment and a more satisfying role. If you have no work experience in care but are interested in helping people live happy lives, we'll guide you to a fantastic care assistant career through our Hamberley Care Home Training Roadmap. What is important is that you have passion, empathy and dedication to help our residents live their lives to the fullest. We will support you with everything else!
