As a Care Assistant, we ask you to care for our residents like they are your own family, addressing their physical, psychological, and social needs. This includes assisting residents with personal care activities such as washing, personal hygiene, dressing, and assisting with meals. We welcome applications from candidates with previous experience as a Care Assistant, Care Giver, Homecare Worker, or Community Support Worker, as we provide full training. We also encourage applications from candidates who do not have previous experience but have a passion for care.
We are part of a family-run business, the Wood Care Group, and our employees are important to us.
We are currently recruiting for 33 hours per week, which involves one shift per week.
