Overview
Part-time Care Assistant role working 24.5 hours per week from 2.30pm to 10.00pm. Full flexibility is required.

You’ll deliver care that respects each resident’s individuality and dignity.
You’ll work under the guidance of a Registered Nurse and support residents in both routine and compassionate end-of-life care, responding to distress and providing comfort as needed.

All colleagues attend safeguarding training appropriate to their role and may undertake additional training. You should be able to seek appropriate advice and report concerns, including escalation if action is not taken.
