Be different be a Homemaker Lead

At Hamberley, we believe that our residents deserve something ‘Extra Special, Every Day’. Our Homemakers Leads are dedicated senior care assistants with a unique approach to care. A Homemaker is a caring role for a person who values personalized, detailed attention, where you can truly make a difference.

• A varied role where no two days are the same. We care for individuals in a way similar to family, focusing on personal preferences and needs. Activities may include administering medication, helping with daily tasks, organizing family visits, or arranging leisure activities. Our Homemakers personalize care to each individual.
• A chance to make a real difference to our residents’ lives. Unlike roles with many residents, Homemakers spend more quality time with fewer individuals, providing more meaningful support. This role has received awards for its approach.
• Supportive team environment. We foster kindness and support among colleagues, which translates into better care for residents. Our team culture encourages longevity and satisfaction.

Could you be part of our team?

If you have experience as a senior healthcare assistant, healthcare assistant, care assistant, carer, home care assistant, or domiciliary care assistant and seek a more rewarding, respectful environment, we want to hear from you.
