Job Description

Whether you already have previous professional experience, you've cared for a loved one or you simply enjoy supporting others, your compassion, patience, and understanding are exactly what we need. It's your values and kindness that matter most and we will provide all the training you need. As a care assistant at our Extra Care Unit, you will be supporting residents, who all have varying needs to live as independently as possible, with personalised care and support plans in place.

Every client's needs are different. You may assist with a bit of housework or help with getting up in the morning. A tasty hot meal and a listening ear. A hand with medication or getting washed and dressed. But more than this, our carers become friends, providing human company, encouragement and maybe a laugh or two, often when life has become a bit tough. Caring isn't always easy, but a lot of people and their families will be grateful that you were there for them.
