For you, that will mean making sure our residents' care planning arrangements are delivered impeccably. We want to offer our residents a sense of choice and independence and you'll be the person to ensure we do. And, whether you're taking up a nursing task delegated to you, reporting an accident or spending time with someone who's demonstrating symptoms of dementia, you'll always have Resident wellbeing in mind above anything else. This is a part-time position of 22 hours per week. We have created a Trainee Nursing Assistant role with an outstanding and refreshing development program that will upskill and train Senior Care Assistants to undertake more responsibility and develop the skills needed to be a Nursing Assistant. This role will assist in tasks such as administering medicines, care of wounds, catheter care and other direct clinical tasks, under the supervision and guidance of the qualified nurse.
