Senior Care Assistant

Care and Support - Hillside Lodge Care Home

Contract: Full Time

Shift Type: Days

Contracted hours: 33

Hillside Lodge Care Home is situated in Berwick-Upon-Tweed providing nursing care for up to 50 residents.

Where every shift brings leadership, compassion, and a deeper sense of purpose.

In our home, being a Senior Care Assistant means more than supporting daily routines — it’s about guiding a team, nurturing a caring environment, and making sure our residents always feel valued and safe. You’ll lead by example, mentor newer team members, and ensure that every aspect of care meets the highest standards of dignity and respect.

What We Offer

• £13.37 per hour
• Contracted to 33 hours per week
• Flexible shifts on offer; dayshift

Whether it’s coordinating care plans, supporting medication administration, or being a reassuring presence for both residents and colleagues, your role is vital. You’ll provide hands-on care while taking on added responsibility, helping to create a home where residents thrive and team members feel supported.

We’re here to support your career too. Whether you’re aiming for a leadership role, mentoring others, or working towards further qualifications, we’ll be by your side to help you grow.

What we’re looking for:

You’ll already have an SVQ Level 3 in Health & Social Care, with experience in a care setting — ideally around a year or more. You’re confident in leading shifts, supporting your team, and ensuring the delivery of exceptional, person-centred care.

About you:

You’re calm under pressure, empathetic, and committed to making a difference. You naturally lead with kindness and respect, and you’re someone your team and residents can rely on. You bring initiative, responsibility, and a positive attitude to everything you do.

Apply today and take the next step in your care career — with a team that values you and a role where your leadership truly matters.
