Care Assistant
We are a residential care home in Horndean, looking to recruit care staff for our Bank team.
Our night shifts are from 8pm to 8am and we are ideally looking for somebody who has experience in a night carer role and working in a small team. Our other night shift position is for the sleep role.
In addition, we have daytime care staff, working from 8am to 2pm and 2pm to 8pm. Our staff work alternate weekends and we have a repeating two-week rota.
Our clients are elderly and have memory problems, and we have two cats, whom they adore.
NVQ level 2 or 3 is preferred, but training will be given. Several of our staff have started apprenticeships for level 3 & 4 this year. We currently do online and face-to-face training during the year.
