As a Senior Care Assistant at Cadley Hill View, kindness will be at the core of everything you do. It touches upon every aspect of our care. Every single person who works here understands that our residents are people just like them with their own stories to tell. And, by joining us, you’ll have a wonderful opportunity to give something back to those people.

Note: This role is 38.5 hours/week, 8am - 8pm, 3 shifts on, 3 shifts off.

For you, it will mean planning and implementing the kind of care that will give our residents a real sense of security, dignity, and independence. You will get to know our residents and their families – helping to ensure we deliver truly personalised care plans. Leading a team of Care Assistants, you will be responsible for maintaining the highest standards of care and you’ll be a real influence on the rest of the team. Whether you are showing someone how to use a walking frame, helping someone at the end of their life to eat a meal, or talking to a resident’s family on the phone, you’ll do so with kindness, above anything else. You will be involved in providing essential physical and mental stimulation through a range of social and recreational activities, as well as administering medication.

One of your key responsibilities as a Senior Care Assistant is to maintain accurate records of your work and build strong relationships with your team.

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility, and it is important that you are able to recognize the signs that may indicate possible abuse, harm, or neglect in its different forms and know what to do if there are concerns. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training appropriate to their role and undertake additional training in related areas. You also have the ability to seek advice and report concerns, including escalation if necessary.
