Care Worker

As a Care Worker, you will provide hands on support to residents, supporting personal care, daily routines and social engagement while promoting dignity, privacy and choice. You will join a close knit team within a safe and homely residential setting, with both part time and full time opportunities available.

You will work on a shift pattern including early and late shifts, and be required to work two out of every three weekends as part of a rota.

• Supporting residents with personal care, mobility and daily routines
• Promoting independence, choice and involvement in everyday activities
• Building positive, respectful relationships with residents and colleagues
• Providing emotional support, reassurance and companionship
• Maintaining accurate daily records and contributing to care planning
• Working collaboratively to ensure a safe, welcoming and well run home

You will be a caring, reliable and patient individual who values dignity, kindness and respect. You may already have experience in a care setting, or be looking to start a rewarding career in social care with the right training and support. You will be a member of the SSSC, or be willing to register and work within their registration requirements, including qualification timescales, and be willing to work towards an SVQ Level 3 in Health and Social Care if you do not already hold this qualification.

You will receive a structured induction, ongoing training and opportunities to develop your skills and progress your career. We offer a supportive team culture, access to employee benefits including pension, wellbeing support and staff discounts, and the chance to make a meaningful difference every day.

We also ensure that your future and that of your loved ones is secured with a generous contributory pension plan and death in service benefit. Balancing work and family are made easier with our suite of enhanced family friendly policies and your health and wellness are prioritised with access to our health cash plan, giving you cash back for a wide range of health treatments.

We even have access to a care concierge service to assist you with life's challenges, providing invaluable support when you need it most.

But we also know that your training and development is important to you, and as well as a contribution to your professional membership fees, we are keen to support you in making the right steps to learn, grow and develop in ways that are right for you.
