Job description

Overview

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 Senior Care Assistant to help us achieve our goals.

At Templeton Place Care Home, our Senior Care Assistants are called Homemaker Leads. 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 Templeton Place, a 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.

Benefits

• 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
• A 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

We believe that our residents deserve something ‘Extra Special, Every Day’. At the heart of this model are our Homemakers Leads – Senior care assistants with a difference.

Role highlights:

• A varied role where no two days are the same – we care for individual people in the way a family member might care for someone in their home. We don’t do timetabled task‑based care – we care for each individual in the way that works best for them.
• Will administer medication, help make a bed, arrange family meals, and take residents to beauty salons etc. – always doing something different.
• Focus on the tiny details that make our residents unique, and tailor care to each and every individual.
• A chance to make a real difference to our residents’ lives. As a Homemaker you have fewer people to care for, but you spend more time with them. It’s a more satisfying and fulfilling role that is better for our residents.
• Supportive team environment. Being kind and supportive to each other is key to our ability to show kindness and companionship to our residents. We truly believe this across all parts of our organisation.

Qualifications & Requirements

We are looking for applicants with:

• A strong background in a care environment (experience as a senior healthcare assistant, healthcare assistant, care assistant, carer, home care assistant or domiciliary care assistant).
• Training experience or qualification.
• Educated to NVQ Level 3 (desirable).
