Competitive benefits + overtime rates

As a Care Assistant with Meallmore you'll help residents enjoy each day by making sure they get the quality care and support they deserve. You'll assist with daily living, providing support and companionship - and sharing great moments and memories too. It's a chance to bring your dedication and compassion to a fulfilling environment. Every day will be different, so you can expect to undertake work that is as varied as it is rewarding.

The type of support that you would be providing is no different to what would reasonably be given by a member of the person's family.

Role & Responsibilities

• Ensuring the highest possible levels of care are maintained by supporting/assisting residents, with washing, dressing, mealtimes and all other aspects of daily living.

• Promoting residents' independence and well-being.

• Monitoring residents' health conditions, liaising with relatives and colleagues.

• Supporting residents in physical and social activities, getting to know their interests, and needs so they can lead their best life possible, by understanding what means most to them as an individual.

What we are looking for

• You'll need to have a naturally caring and kind nature.

• Have excellent communication and time management skills.

• Patience and empathy when dealing with challenging situations.

• The ability to work well on your own or as part of a team.

Ideally you will have an SVQ level 2 or above/equivalent in Health and Social Care, but don't worry if you don't, we will fully fund and support you to achieve this.

What's in it for you?

Our focus is you and your ongoing development. We have a Care Team career pathway to support you to reach your potential, all the way to Care Home Manager if that is your goal.

Join us and be part of a team that truly makes a difference.

Please note that all job offers are subject to satisfactory references, Disclosure Scotland Scheme Membership (PVG) and being registered with the Scottish Social Services Council.
