Job description

About The Role

As a Senior Care Assistant at Littleton Lodge, 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. By joining us, you’ll have a wonderful opportunity to give something back to those people.

For you, it will mean planning and implementing care that provides our residents with a sense of security, dignity, and independence. You will get to know our residents and their families, helping to ensure we deliver truly personalized care plans. Leading a team of Care Assistants, you will be responsible for maintaining high standards of care and influencing the team positively. Whether demonstrating how to use a walking frame, assisting at mealtimes, or communicating with families, you will do so with kindness. You will also be involved in providing physical and mental stimulation through 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 within your team.

Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility. It is important that you can recognize signs of abuse, harm, or neglect and know how to respond. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training appropriate to their role and undertake additional training as needed. You should be able to seek advice and report concerns, including escalation if necessary.
