Your role will be varied, involving supporting people with personal care, eating and drinking, and meaningful activities. We are recruiting for full-time and part-time day and night shifts.

If you are a kind, warm, and compassionate person who wants to positively impact people's lives, then working as a Care Assistant at Thorntoun Estate, Crosshouse, might be the right fit for you.

Our homes have a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere, and you will be allocated a position at the home most suited to you.

We offer care for individuals needing assistance with daily tasks, nursing care for those with complex medical needs, and respite care.

Your responsibilities include delivering quality personal care, supporting residents with washing, dressing, eating, maintaining hygiene, and helping them feel part of the community.
