Job description

As a Care Assistant, you'll bring kindness, patience, and enthusiasm to every moment. You'll support residents with daily routines like washing, dressing, mobility, and mealtimes, always encouraging independence and dignity wherever possible. But just as importantly, you'll be a familiar face, a friendly voice, and someone who makes residents feel safe, valued, and at home. You'll work closely with your colleagues across the home, helping to create a warm, safe, and joyful environment where people feel truly cared for.

You don't need previous experience in care, just a genuine passion for helping others and the willingness to learn. We'll give you full training, a supportive team, and the confidence to shine in your role. If you do have an NVQ Level 2 in Health & Social Care, that's great but if not, we can help you work towards it. Most importantly, you'll embody our values of Trust, Respect, Passion, Kindness, and Inclusivity in everything you do.

Pottersway House is part of the Care Concern Group, a family‑owned provider with over 130 homes across the UK. We're committed to creating welcoming, high‑quality homes for our residents and supportive, rewarding workplaces for our colleagues. When you join us, you become part of a team that genuinely cares.
