Job description

Social network you want to login/join with:

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 Chawley Grove, 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 Chawley Grove, 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.

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 available
• 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 that 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 for a unique person, where you can care with a difference.

• A varied role where no two days are the same: We care for individuals in a way similar to family care. We don’t do timetabled task-based care but tailor care to each person’s needs, whether that’s administering medication, helping make beds, arranging family visits, or taking residents to the salon. Our Homemakers focus on the tiny details that make residents unique.
• A chance to make a real difference: Unlike other roles, Homemakers spend more quality time with fewer residents, making a meaningful impact on their lives. This approach has earned awards.
• Supportive team environment: We foster kindness and support among colleagues, which translates into better care for residents. Many team members stay with us long-term.

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 rewarding role, a better environment, and a different approach.

We are looking for candidates with:

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