ABOUT THE ROLE

Do you want to have greater say over when you work? Then this role is perfect for you.

Bank contracts are not temporary, but they are flexible. They don’t have any guaranteed hours, so when we do offer you work, it’s your choice to work or not. This gives you the flexibility to work around your other commitments, such as your studies, another job, or caring for family members. Or if you are looking to gain experience in the care sector without making a permanent commitment, or to simply ‘keep your hand in’ if you are partially retired; bank contracts are an excellent option for you.

Our Extra Care Housing schemes, also known as assisted living, are made up of self-contained one or two-bedroom apartments, all carefully designed and built to help clients live as independently as they can. With their own front door, clients can come and go as they please, socialise with neighbours in the communal areas, or enjoy their own company in privacy. Within each housing scheme, our care teams are on hand round the clock to support our clients with daily tasks and activities; this is known as domiciliary care.

Our Domiciliary Care Assistants make a real difference to our clients every day; whether it’s helping them with their daily routines or personal care, providing companionship, or supporting with light household duties, you’ll play a vital role in ensuring they are leading happy and fulfilled lives. No two days will be the same, but all of our clients live in the same building, so you won’t need to travel between different locations.

Moorside Place is a 54-apartment Extra Care Housing scheme situated in Kidlington. We’re rated GOOD by the Care Quality Commission.

AND IN RETURN

Therefore, we offer a great range of benefits, including a competitive salary, training, and development. Here are some of the other benefits you’ll enjoy as a bank worker:

• Higher rates of pay at weekends
• Pro rata’d annual leave entitlement
• Free uniform
• Free DBS
• Care Worker Charity membership for well-being and financial aid
• Refer a Friend reward programme paying up to £ for care assistant recommendations
• Blue Light Card, offering you discounts on shopping, days out, restaurants, and much more

ABOUT YOU

If you’ve worked in care before, then that’s great as you’ll have a good idea of what to expect. But if care as a profession is new to you, then don’t worry – we’ll provide all the training you need to start your care journey with us, all delivered in a nurturing, engaging, and rewarding environment.

What’s more important to us is that you’re good at communicating with people, you enjoy working as part of a team, you’ll be keen to learn, and will want to excel at your job every day.
