About The Role
We are looking for a Care Assistant to be based in one of our Community Resource Centre (CRC) at Combe Lea, Midsomer Norton on a part‑time basis on permanent contract.
Combe Lea is a residential care home that provides care and health services in a safe environment for older vulnerable adults with a variety of disabilities. It offers a broad range of activities which aim to promote independence by developing or maintaining and enhancing people’s skills, interests, and abilities.
This is a part‑time position working 27.75 hours per week on a 4‑week rolling rota. Shifts will include some weekends and bank holidays.
What is a Community Resource Centre (CRC)?
Bath and North East Somerset have three care homes which are Community Resource Centres located in Keynsham, Bath and Midsomer Norton. Each Community Resource Centre includes a residential care home for between 30 and 45 people, and these homes provide important services to older people in our community. Care assistants at these centres work hard to offer residents the opportunity to retain as much independence as possible and to enjoy their lives.
