At Buttons Recruitment, we’re on the lookout for experienced Healthcare Assistants across Norwich, Swaffham & Dereham. If you’ve got at least 6 months of UK experience and a genuinely caring nature, we want to hear from you.

Let’s be honest—this isn’t just a job. It’s the kind of role where your kindness can completely change someone’s day. Sound like your kind of thing?

Enhanced Adult & Child DBS required (don’t worry—we can help with this)

What You’ll Be Doing

No two days are the same—but every day matters.

• Supporting residents with daily living and personal care
• Assisting with dressing, hydration & nutrition
• Providing person-centred care tailored to individual needs
• Supporting residents living with dementia or additional care needs
• Helping maintain a safe, clean, and welcoming environment
