ABOUT THE ROLE
Our Extra Care Housing schemes, also known as assisted living, are made up of self-contained one or two-bedroom apartments, all carefully designed and built to help clients live as independently as they can. With their own front door, clients can come and go as they please, socialise with neighbours in the communal areas or enjoy their own company in privacy. Within each housing scheme, our care teams are on hand round the clock to support our clients with daily tasks and activities; this is known as domiciliary care. Our Domiciliary Care Assistants make a real difference to our clients every day; whether it's supporting them with their daily needs or providing companionship.
We have been providing care for almost 1,000 years and we're currently the second largest not-for-profit provider in the UK. Not-for-profit means that we reinvest every penny we make into our residents, clients, colleagues, and the care homes and schemes we live and work in. We offer a great range of benefits, including a competitive salary, and invest in training and development. Here are some of the other benefits you'll enjoy as a valued member of our team:
* 28 days holiday (including Bank Holidays)
* Higher rates of pay at weekends
* Workplace pension
* Life assurance
* Comprehensive induction, ongoing training, and development
* Free uniform
* Free DBS
* Refer a Friend scheme rewarding you up to £1000 for every recommendation you make who successfully starts working for us
* Access to our Employee Assistance programme
* Care Worker Charity membership for well-being and financial aid
* Blue Light Card and 'My Rewards' programme, offering you discounts on shopping, days out, restaurants, and much more
ABOUT YOU
If you've worked in domiciliary care before, then that's great as you'll have a good idea of what to expect. But if this profession is new to you, then don't worry - we'll provide all the training you need to start your care journey with us. It would be great if you hold or are working towards a Health and Social Care qualification. However, what's more important to us is that you're good at communicating with people, you're compassionate with a can-do approach, you enjoy working as part of a team, are keen to learn and will want to excel at your job every day.
If you think you have the right skills and attitude to deliver the highest quality of care for our residents as a Domiciliary Care Assistant within our Extra Care Housing, we would love to hear from you!
