The care we provide is built around kindness, dignity and meaningful human connection, and as a Care Assistant, you will play an important role in helping residents feel safe, comfortable and supported every single day.

Working as part of a close knit team, you will support residents with daily routines, personal care, mobility, nutrition and emotional wellbeing while encouraging independence wherever possible. Every interaction matters, and the care you provide will help ensure residents continue to feel valued, respected and cared for in a warm and welcoming environment.

This is a rewarding opportunity for someone who genuinely enjoys helping others and wants to build a career where compassion, teamwork and making a positive difference sit at the heart of every day. Whether you already have experience in care or are looking to begin your journey within the sector, you will be supported as part of a team that values the contribution every individual makes.

• Good communication skills and ability to work well within a team
• Genuine passion for supporting older people and promoting wellbeing
• Positive attitude and willingness to learn and develop
• Previous care experience or NVQ/SVQ Level 2 in Health & Social Care is beneficial but not essential
