Job description

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 Richmond 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 Richmond Manor, a luxury care home providing 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 alternate weekends on a rota basis.

We offer our Senior Care Assistants - our Homemakers Leads:

• Competitive salary and benefits package
• 28 days holiday (inclusive of Bank Holidays)
• Quality bonus scheme linked to CQC rating
• 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 £750 per referral (T&Cs apply)
• Employee Assistance Programme, occupational health support, and wellbeing services

Be different, be a Homemaker Lead

At Hamberley, we believe our residents deserve something ‘Extra Special, Every Day’. Our Homemaker Leads are senior care assistants with a difference. A Homemaker is a unique caring role where you can care with a difference.

• A varied role where no two days are the same. We care for individuals as a family would, focusing on personalized care rather than task-based routines. Whether administering medication, helping make beds, arranging family visits, or taking residents to the salon, you'll always be doing something different. Our Homemakers focus on the small details that make each resident unique, tailoring care to their individual needs.
• A chance to make a real difference. Unlike traditional roles, as a Homemaker, you spend more quality time with fewer residents, making your care more meaningful and fulfilling. Our award-winning model emphasizes this personalized approach.
• Supportive team environment. Kindness and support among colleagues are fundamental to our service. We believe this fosters a positive environment where staff enjoy long-term careers.

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, seeking a more satisfying and supportive work environment.

Applicants should have:

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