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.

• Enhanced maternity (12 weeks full pay), paternity and parental leave policies
• An industry-leading career development pathway, including the Care Certificate and NVQ's, there is plenty of opportunity for progression - 50% of our salaried roles are filled internally.
• Wellbeing support - including employee assistance programme, mental health first aiders, healthcare cash plan and free eye tests & contribution to the cost of glasses.
