Hollie Hill Care Home

Location: StanleyDH9 6QZ
Pay:£12.72
Hours: 38.5

Are you the kind of person who remembers how someone takes their tea?
Do you believe a 5-minute chat can brighten someone’s whole day?
Can you bring compassion, reliability, and maybe a great playlist?

If you said YES… we want to meet you.

What You’ll Be Doing

No two days are the same — and that’s the beauty of it.

You’ll be:

• Supporting people with daily routines
• Helping with personal care (with dignity and respect)
• Preparing meals and sharing meaningful moments
• Providing companionship and emotional support
• Being the reason someone smiles today

This isn’t just care work. It’s life-changing work.

What We’re Looking For

You don’t need years of experience — you need the right heart.

• Kindness that can’t be taught
• Reliability and a strong sense of responsibility
• Good communication skills
• A willingness to learn (full training provided!)
• A driving licence (if required for community role)

Care experience is great — but not essential. We hire for attitude and train for skill.

What You’ll Get

• Competitive pay
• Full paid training & development opportunities
• Career progression pathways
• Supportive, friendly team culture
• Staff recognition, rewards & appreciation events
• Flexible shifts that fit around your life
