Summary
Our multi-award-winning organisation is looking to recruit a Care Assistant to join our Care team.
This isn’t just a job—it’s about building relationships, creating moments that matter, and helping people feel valued every single day.
As a Care Assistant, you’ll support residents with daily living, from personal care to mealtimes and activities, always taking a person-centred approach. You’ll get to know each resident as an individual—what matters to them, what makes them smile—and tailor your support to help them live well.
No two days are the same, but every day is meaningful.
This post is for Relief/ Bank staff working on a casual as and when required basis to cover absence.
What you’ll be doing
Supporting residents with personal care and daily routines
Providing companionship and emotional support
Encouraging independence, choice, and dignity
Assisting with meals, activities, and wellbeing
Working as part of a supportive team to deliver outstanding care
Building positive relationships with residents, families, and colleagues
What we’re looking for
You don’t need to have worked in care before (although it’s great if you have). What really matters is who you are:
Kind, patient, and compassionate
A great listener with a positive attitude
Reliable and a strong team player
Comfortable supporting people with a range of needs
Willing to learn and develop
What you’ll get in return
Full training and ongoing support
Opportunities to develop your career in care
A welcoming, supportive team environment
The chance to make a genuine difference every day
Working pattern
You’ll work on a two-week rolling rota:
Week 1: 4 days
Week 2: 2 days
12-hour shifts (8am–8pm), including some weekends
Why this role matters
For many of our residents, you’ll be the person who brightens their day, supports them through challenges, and helps them feel safe, respected, and valued. That’s a big responsibility—but also an incredibly rewarding one.
