As a Senior Care Assistant, we ask for you to care for our residents like they are your own family, addressing their physical, psychological, and social needs. You will assist residents with personal care activities such as washing, personal hygiene, dressing, and helping with meals. Additionally, you will be responsible for the medication round and leading the shift. We welcome applications from candidates with previous experience as a Senior Care Assistant, Care Giver, Homecare Worker, or Community Support Worker. We also encourage candidates without previous senior experience but with a passion for care and a valid qualification to apply.
We are a family-run business, part of the Wood Care Group, and our employees are important to us.
