Senior Healthcare Assistant – Days & Nights – AV1881

Full Time | 35 Hours per Week

Location:

Risley, Sandiacre
Pay: £13.50 per hour (paid breaks included)

Join a Family-Owned Residential Setting Where You’re Truly Valued

We are recruiting on behalf of a warm, independently operated residential care service providing high-quality care for adults both under and over 65.

This well-established home supports up to 36 residents and offers permanent residential care, respite care and day care within a welcoming, homely environment. With a smaller resident group, the focus is always on delivering genuinely person-centred care where every individual is known, respected and valued.

We are now seeking an experienced Senior Healthcare Assistant to work a mixture of day and night shifts as part of a supportive and stable team.

About the Service

Registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the home prides itself on maintaining high standards of dignity, independence and wellbeing.

The setting offers:

Comfortable bedrooms, including ground-floor rooms with private patios
Peaceful garden spaces
A varied, person-centred activities programme
Permanent, respite and day care services
A 5-Star Food Hygiene Rating, demonstrating excellent standards of cleanliness and food safety
The culture is professional, friendly and family-orientated, with a leadership team that is visible and approachable.

Why This Role Stands Out

As a Senior Healthcare Assistant, you will:

Act as the senior member of staff on duty across day and night shifts
Lead and support care staff with confidence and compassion
Deliver high-quality, person-centred residential care
Provide reassurance and clinical oversight during night shifts
Build meaningful relationships with residents and families
Promote dignity, choice and independence at all times
With a smaller home environment, you’ll be able to focus on relationship-led care rather than task-based routines.
