We make health happen

Here at Bupa we support those when they need it the most. Our care homes are dedicated to delivering person-centred care, supporting independence and honouring choice to help our residents live their best lives.

As a Care Assistant, you’re at the heart of making a difference to our residents. You’re as passionate about care as we are, and we’d love you to be part of our family. You’ll be working with the most remarkable team (we’ve just been awarded Care Home Provider of the Year at the Leaders in Care Awards 2022) helping people from your own community. You understand how delivering high-quality, personal and social care is as important as nurturing relationships, providing kindness and warmth to individuals and your amazing colleagues, so that our residents feel truly valued, cared for, and part of life in the home.

We’re looking for motivated, positive individuals with great interpersonal skills. You understand what is important to others. Whether you’re an experienced carer or new to the sector, we’ll provide you with the support and training you need to develop, where you can learn from some of the best people in the industry. We’ll also train you on all aspects of our new digital care, transforming how you work, making things easier and letting you focus on care for our residents. It’s an exciting time to be with us.

You’ll help us make health happen by:

• Assisting residents with a high standard of clinical, social and emotional care and recognising and meeting the specific needs of residents.
• Supporting residents with a wide range of differing requirements from companionship to personal care.
• Being part of a team supporting the nurse or senior care assistant in monitoring our residents and reporting change.
• Communicating with residents’ families, friends and other healthcare professionals.

Joining Bupa in this role you will receive the following benefits and more:

• Flexible working patterns to fit around you.
• Comprehensive induction (fully paid).
• Free meal on every shift.
• DBS Check and Uniform provided and paid for by Bupa.
• Access to discounts at a wide variety of gyms and fitness facilities across the UK.
