You will work alongside an amazing team that care passionately about our residents. We work hard to keep our residents engaged, active and enjoying their lives. Whether you would like to support our residents directly with our personal hygiene needs or instead help us in maintaining high levels of cleanliness across our homes, you can make a real contribution.

About you

You will need:

• Basic literacy and numeracy skills
• To be compassionate and patient
• Ideally some experience in a caring industry, for example hospitality or schools
• To pass our DBS check or be on the DBS Update Service

Even better if you have previous experience of a care environment, providing personal care or knowledge of dementia.

We invest in our colleagues because we know if they have a better day at work, the service our customers receive will be better. The Aster Offer is our offer to our colleagues to ensure they have a great day at work and includes things like:

• A focus on colleague wellbeing - workshops, an employee assistance programme offering counselling and support, mental health training and a health cash plan
• We invest in colleagues' careers and development through our leader and colleague development frameworks

• Volunteering hours available to all colleagues to enable them to give back
• Savings at cinemas, gyms, holidays, days out, various shops and eateries and lots more
• We celebrate colleagues who go above and beyond with a range of personalised recognition initiatives.

We'll be reviewing applications and shortlisting candidates throughout the advertising period, so we may arrange interviews as soon as suitable applications are received. If we find the right person, we may make an offer straight away rather than waiting for the advert to close.
