As a Care Assistant, you'll support residents with daily living, from personal care to mealtimes and activities, always taking a person-centred approach. You'll get to know each resident as an individual-what matters to them, what makes them smile—and tailor your support to help them live well.

No two days are the same, but every day is meaningful.

What You'll Be Doing

• Supporting residents with personal care and daily routines
• Providing companionship and emotional support
• Encouraging independence, choice, and dignity
• Assisting with meals, activities, and wellbeing
• Working as part of a supportive team to deliver outstanding care
• Building positive relationships with residents, families, and colleagues

What We're Looking For

• Kind, patient, and compassionate
• A great listener with a positive attitude
• Reliable and a strong team player
• Comfortable supporting people with a range of needs
• Willing to learn and develop

What You'll Get In Return

• Full training and ongoing support
• Opportunities to develop your career in care
• A welcoming, supportive team environment
• The chance to make a genuine difference every day

Working pattern

This post is working an average of 38.5 hours per week on a 2 week rolling rota, including some weekends on a 12 hour rota basis from 8am to 8pm. 4 days in week one, 3 days in week 2.

Why this role matters

For many of our residents, you'll be the person who brightens their day, supports them through challenges, and helps them feel safe, respected, and valued. That's a big responsibility - but also an incredibly rewarding one.
