Right now, we're looking for an enthusiastic and committed Care Assistant to join the team at our care home. Whether we're providing long or short-term, convalescence, respite, or palliative care, our focus is on delivering the highest quality service at all times.
As a Care Assistant, under the guidance of a Registered Nurse, you will be responsible for the physical and emotional well-being and social needs of our residents. Your duties include assisting residents with personal care activities such as washing, personal hygiene, dressing, and helping with meals. You will deliver care that genuinely comes from the heart, ensuring our residents maintain their dignity and sense of individuality. This involves engaging in general activities within the care home, supporting residents with limited mobility, offering emotional support to confused or distressed residents, or providing end-of-life care, always prioritizing their well-being.
Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility. It is essential that you can recognize signs of possible abuse, harm, or neglect in its various forms and know the appropriate actions to take if concerns arise. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training suitable to their role and to undertake additional training as needed. You should be able to seek advice and report concerns, including escalation if necessary.
