* Free onsite parking
* Free uniform
* NEST workplace pension contributions

We believe in helping our residents to live their lives as independently as possible and support them in reaching their potential, through both practical and emotional support as well as having a positive impact on their lives.
As a Care Assistant, you will be:
* Delivering quality personal care to each of our residents
* Supporting them with daily activities such as washing, dressing, eating, and maintaining personal hygiene
* Understanding our resident’s communication needs and adapting your communication to each individual, e.g., sounds, tones, body language
* Providing emotional support to individuals and their families
* Working with significant people in our resident’s lives, such as friends and family, by giving them confidence and reassurance and involving them in our resident’s care
To succeed, you will be:
* A team player who engages well with others
* Strong communicator and influencer
* Energetic and hard-working
* Flexible and adaptable to change
* Passionate about offering superior services and wanting to make a difference
* A glass half full person, with a sense of humour and a positive outlook
If you possess these qualities, or have worked in a retail, supermarket, warehouse, or other customer-facing environments, then no experience of working as a Care Assistant is necessary. We provide you with excellent learning, development, and support opportunities to equip you with the knowledge and skills to make a real difference in the role.
