Job description

Domiciliary Care Assistant

Location: Centurion House, Bicester, OX26 6EW

Pay rate: £ per hour (weekend enhancements)

Contracted Hours: Bank

ABOUT THE ROLE

Our Extra Care Housing schemes, also known as assisted living, are made up of self-contained one or two-bedroom apartments, all carefully designed and built to help clients live as independently as they can.

With their own front door, clients can come and go as they please, socialise with neighbours in the communal areas or enjoy their own company in privacy.

Within each housing scheme our care teams are on hand round the clock to support our clients with daily tasks and activities; this is known as domiciliary care.

Our Domiciliary Care Assistants make a real difference to our clients every day; whether it's supporting them with their daily routines or personal care, providing companionship or supporting with light household duties, you'll play a vital role in ensuring they are leading happy and fulfilled lives.

No two days will be the same, but all of our clients live in the same building, so you won't need to travel between different locations.

In joining us, you'll also become part of our extended family.

You'll work alongside other team members who are passionate about providing care, warmth and kindness to all those who live and work in our schemes.If you've worked in retail, hospitality or within the warehouse industry then this could be suitable for you.

Opened in June , Centurion House is situated in a peaceful cul de sac, close to the centre of the bustling market town of Bicester and the famous Bicester Village outlet centre.

The new Bicester Village railway station is close by with fast services direct to both London Marylebone and Oxford.
