Job description

Be all you can be with Hamberley

At Hamberley, we believe that our residents deserve something 'Extra Special, Every Day' and we're recruiting for a Care Assistant to help us achieve our goals.

At Elstow Manor, our Care Assistants are called Homemakers. More than support workers, care assistants or healthcare assistants - they are carers and companions all in one. They have the time to get to know our residents and are trusted to give each person the care they need, in the way they like.

Joining us at Elstow Manor, our luxury care home that provides residential, dementia, and nursing care for older people, you'll be part of a team that is genuinely passionate about the health and well-being of our residents.

Working Pattern

12 hour shifts and working alternative weekends on a rota basis.

• Competitive salary and benefits package
• 28 days holiday (inclusive of Bank Holidays)
• Quality bonus scheme linked to CQC rating
• Workplace pension
• A supportive and collaborative working environment
• Opportunities for professional development and training
• Range of retail discounts and savings
• Free onsite parking
• Unlimited Refer a Friend Bonus - up to GBP750 per referral (T&Cs apply)

Be different - be a Homemaker Lead

At Hamberley, our Homemakers Leads are at the heart of our care model. They are senior care assistants with a difference, caring for residents in a personalized way that resembles family care. A Homemaker role involves:

• A varied role where no two days are the same. We care for individuals in a personalized manner, avoiding task-based routines. Whether administering medication, helping with daily activities, or organizing social outings, each day is unique.
• A chance to make a real difference in residents' lives. Our Homemakers spend quality time with fewer residents, providing more meaningful care, which has earned us awards.
• Supportive team environment. We foster kindness and support among staff to ensure compassionate care for residents.

Could you be part of our team?

We welcome applicants with experience as a senior healthcare assistant, healthcare assistant, care assistant, carer, home care assistant, or domiciliary care assistant who seek a more rewarding and supportive work environment.

Requirements include:

• A strong background in care
• Training experience or qualification
• NVQ Level 3 (desirable)
