Job description

Job Summary

We are seeking a compassionate and dedicated Care Assistant to join our team. The ideal candidate will play a crucial role in providing high-quality care to our residents, ensuring their comfort and well‑being. This position requires effective communication skills, the ability to follow care plans, and a commitment to enhancing the quality of life for those in our care.

At SureCare Dumfries & Galloway, we’re not an agency and we’re not a stopgap. We’re building a small, stable team of skilled carers who want a career in care—not just a short‑term role.

If you’re kind, capable, and tired of being overbooked, underpaid or unsupported—we think you’ll like it here.

Duties

• Assist residents with daily living activities such as bathing, dressing, and grooming.
• Support residents in maintaining their independence while providing necessary assistance.
• Communicate effectively with residents, families, and other team members to ensure cohesive care delivery.
• Follow individual care plans and document any changes in residents' conditions or needs.
• Drive residents to appointments or social activities as required.
• Maintain a clean and safe environment within the care home.
• Utilise IT systems for record-keeping and reporting purposes.

Who We’re Looking For

• A good human being: mature, warm, and dependable.
• A driver with a car (you’ll need it in D&G!).
• Someone flexible—with availability across days, evenings or weekends.
• Someone with resilience, humour, and heart.

What Makes This Different?

• ✅ We Put Carers First: Our managers have built high‑trust teams before, in other sectors and other times. We look after people properly. It’s not just lip service—it’s baked into how we hire, train and plan.
• ✅ Fair Pay from Day One: We offer better‑than‑average pay—and we don’t steal it back with unpaid travel time. There’s structure, training, and a clear path if you want to progress.
• ✅ Local Care Hubs: We’re creating community hubs so you’re not isolated, stressed, or chasing your tail. You’ll have somewhere to rest, regroup, and stay connected.
• ✅ Smarter Care Models: We’re trialling group care—neighbours sharing support—so you can work more meaningfully, and clients get more consistency.
• ✅ Care That Lifts People Up: We help clients live life—not just survive. Think supported holidays, creative sessions, and mentoring projects that bring old and young together.

If you are passionate about making a difference in the lives of others and possess the necessary skills, we encourage you to apply for this rewarding position as a Care Assistant.
