This is an opportunity to work in a welcoming residential care setting where residents are supported to live with dignity, comfort, choice and as much independence as possible. The service is committed to creating a homely environment in which residents, relatives and colleagues feel valued, listened to and respected. We are looking for people who understand that excellent care is not only about completing tasks. It is about taking time, noticing the small things, building trusted relationships and helping each person have the best possible day. Whether you already have experience in adult social care or are looking to begin a rewarding career supporting older people, we would like to hear from you. Previous care experience is valued, but full training can be provided for the right person with the right values. The Role As a Care Assistant, you will provide high-quality, person-centred care and practical support to residents throughout the day. You will work as part of a close-knit team, following individual care plans and making sure that every resident is treated with kindness, patience and respect.

You will be comfortable working as part of a team, while also being able to use your own initiative when appropriate. You will ideally have experience in residential care, domiciliary care, supported living, healthcare or another people-facing support role.
