We offer various shifts and hours, so get in touch and we can help you find the job you want!

Located in the historic Old Sarum, just north of Salisbury, Avon Court and Bourne House make up Avonbourne Care Centre. Each offers an elegant environment with compassionate, individualised care in welcoming, relaxing, and homely households. The Avonbourne team provides tailored support for residents dependent on their own requirements, from a little extra help with some day-to-day tasks on our residential households, through to more specialist support with nursing and dementia needs.

We are looking for you to work as a care assistant, making a real difference to our residents' lives every day. Along with supporting daily routines and personal care (washing, bathing, supporting toilet use), we are looking for the right people to genuinely care for our residents and create a happy, fulfilled life for them. Some days may be challenging, but you will laugh, have fun, and make lasting memories. You’ll become part of our extended family too, bringing kindness, exceptional care, and dignity to our care homes.

We are seeking both experienced carers and those new to care to build our teams with diverse individuals who can bring all sorts of life experience to the job. We provide induction training and support, with ongoing development opportunities for you to really build a career with us. You will be a great communicator and able to build relationships and positive working and living environments. We’d love you to love your job.

AND IN RETURN

We’re currently the second-largest not-for-profit provider in the UK, meaning we reinvest every penny we make into our homes, residents' lives, and team members. We offer a great range of benefits:

• 28 days holiday; increasing with length of service (pro-rated for part-time)
• Free uniform
• Free DBS
• Free car parking
• Company sick pay (after probation)
• Life assurance
• Comprehensive induction, ongoing training, and development
• Refer a Friend scheme rewarding you up to £ for every recommendation you make who successfully starts working for us
• Access to our Employee Assistance programme
• Care Worker Charity membership for wellbeing and financial aid
• Blue Light Card and “My Rewards” programme, offering you discounts on shopping, days out, restaurants, and much more.

We reserve the right to close this role before the closing date, with no advance notice. We do encourage you to complete an application as soon as possible if interested.
