As a Care Assistant, we ask you to care for our residents as if they were your own family, attending to their physical, psychological, and social needs. Responsibilities include assisting residents with personal care activities such as washing, personal hygiene, dressing, and helping with meals.
We welcome applications from individuals with previous experience as Care Assistants, Care Givers, Homecare Workers, or Community Support Workers. As we provide full training, prior experience is not essential, making this an excellent opportunity for passionate newcomers.
We are part of a family-run business within the Wood Care Group, and our employees are valued highly.
