Job description

Weekly paid hours for experienced Care Assistants living within Derby!

We are offering an exciting opportunity for an experienced Healthcare Assistant to join a beautifully appointed care home in Littleover. This role is more than just a job—it’s a chance to make a meaningful impact in the lives of individuals living with age-related conditions such as Dementia and Alzheimer’s.

In this rewarding position, you will play a vital role in each resident’s daily routine, offering compassionate support with personal care, mobility, nutrition, and hygiene. Your care will help promote dignity, comfort, and overall well-being. You’ll also contribute to maintaining a safe and welcoming environment by assisting with housekeeping tasks, following health and safety procedures, and accurately documenting any changes in residents’ conditions or incidents for senior staff.

To be considered, you must hold a practical moving and handling certificate dated within the last six months, ensuring you are ready to provide safe, effective care from day one.

To be suitable for this position, you must have an Enhanced DBS dated within the last 12 months, up-to-date mandatory training—including practical moving and handling training dated within the past 6 months—a referenceable work history covering a minimum of three years, and at least three months of previous experience within a UK-based care home setting.

If you do not currently have a valid DBS or up-to-date training, don’t worry—we can help. We offer online training at a subsidised fee, and the certificates are yours to keep.
