• Delivering compassionate end-of-life care where required.
• Ensuring effective communication and thorough handovers between shifts.
• Promoting a positive culture where residents' wellbeing and quality of life remain at the heart of everything we do.

• Is kind, caring, and passionate about supporting older people.

• Has excellent communication and organisational skills.
• Remains calm, professional, and dependable in a busy care environment.
