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 Elstow Manor, 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 Elstow Manor, our luxury care home providing 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.

Benefits for our Care Assistants - Homemakers:

• 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
• Access to high street discounts via our mobile-friendly HapiApp benefits platform
• Free onsite parking available
• Unlimited Refer a Friend Bonus - up to GBP750 per referral (T&Cs apply)
• Employee Assistance Programme, occupational health support, and wellbeing services

Be different - be a Homemaker

Be at the heart of our award-winning homemaker care model. A Homemaker is a unique caring role for a unique person, where you can care with a difference.

• A varied role where no two days are the same. Homemakers care for individual people in the way a family member might care for someone in their home. We don't do timetabled task-based care - we care for each individual in the way that works best for them. Whether that's administering medication, helping make someone's bed, arranging a family meal, or taking them to the beauty salon, you'll always be doing something different. Our Homemakers focus on the tiny details that make our residents unique, and tailor care to each and every individual.
• A chance to make a real difference to our residents' lives. Often healthcare assistants, care assistants, and domiciliary care assistants find they don't get enough time with the people they care for to make a real impact. Not at Hamberley. As a Homemaker, you have fewer people to care for but spend more quality time with them. It's a more satisfying and fulfilling role that is better for our residents. That's why the model has won awards.
• Excellent opportunities for learning and development. We support you with all necessary training, including NVQ qualifications and further clinical training if you wish to specialise in areas like dementia and nutrition.
• Supportive team environment. Being kind and supportive to each other is key to our ability to show kindness and companionship to our residents. We truly believe this across all parts of our organisation. It's one of the reasons people join us and stay.

Could you be part of our team?

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 and are seeking a different approach, a nicer work environment, and a more satisfying role.

If you have no care experience but are interested in helping people live happy lives, we'll guide you to a fantastic career at Hamberley.

What matters most is passion, empathy, and dedication to helping our residents live their lives to the fullest. We will support you with everything else!

If this sounds like you and you're looking for a fulfilling role that makes a genuine impact, this rewarding career is for you.
