Job description

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 Templeton Place 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 Templeton 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.

Working Pattern

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

Responsibilities

• A varied role where no two days are the same; caring for individuals in the way a family member might care for someone in their home.
• Administer medication, help with personal care, arrange meals, and accompany residents to social activities such as the beauty salon.
• Focus on the tiny details that make each resident unique and tailor care to each and every individual.
• Spend more time with residents, making a real difference to their lives.
• Support residents with dementia, nutrition, and other needs through ongoing learning.

Qualifications & Experience

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. If you have no prior care experience, we’ll guide you to a fantastic care assistant career at Hamberley. Passion, empathy and dedication to help residents live their lives to the fullest is essential.

Benefits

• 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, including NVQ qualifications and further clinical training
• Access to high street discounts via the mobile‑friendly HapiApp benefits platform
• Free onsite parking available
• Unlimited Refer a Friend Bonus – up to £750 per referral (t&c apply)
• Employee Assistance Programme, occupational health support and wellbeing services
