Are you someone who finds joy in helping others and believes in treating everyone with dignity and respect? If you’re looking to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others, we’d love to welcome you to our team!

At our home, we’re dedicated to providing the highest standard of care, ensuring our residents live with joy, independence, and comfort. As Trainee Care Assistant, you’ll play a key role in our care team, bringing warmth, kindness, and a commitment to excellence.

What You’ll Do

About You

We believe that great care starts with great people. Whether you’re new to the field or have some experience, what truly matters is your heart for helping others. If you hold a Health & Social Care qualification, that’s fantastic, but it’s not essential.

What we’re looking for is someone who is naturally caring, empathetic, patient, and kind. You should have a genuine respect for those around you and excellent communication skills; being able to connect with our residents and understand their needs is at the core of what we do.

We’ll provide all the training you need to excel in your role, teaching you the technical skills and systems. But the most important qualities—compassion, respect, and a dedication to our values—are what we hope you’ll bring to our team.

If this sounds like you, and you’re ready to be part of a team that makes a real difference, we’d love to hear from you. Join us, and let’s create a home where every resident feels cared for, respected, and truly at home.
