About the Role
At Talbert Living Care Investments, our Flexi-Bank Health Care Assistants play a vital role in providing compassionate, high-quality care to our Service Users.

* Encourage and enable Service Users to follow agreed person-centred care plans
* Put Service Users’ wellbeing at the heart of your work — going the extra mile to promote dignity, comfort, and independence
* Maintain clear and accurate records and communicate any concerns or changes in wellbeing to managers or relevant professionals
What We Expect

* A caring, patient, and respectful manner
* The ability to work independently and as part of a team
* Good communication skills and the ability to maintain confidentiality
* Right to work in the UK
* A valid DBS certificate (or willingness to apply for one)
Desirable:
* Training in Moving and Handling

* Awareness of safeguarding and recognising signs of deterioration
Benefits of a Zero-Hour (Bank) Contract
A bank contract is ideal if you need flexibility around other commitments such as study, childcare, or another role.
You will benefit from:
* Flexible scheduling – choose when and where you work
* The chance to gain hands-on experience in a variety of care environments
* Competitive pay rates with enhancements for weekends and bank holidays
* Weekly pay and supportive communication from our friendly management team
Considerations
While flexibility is a key advantage, zero-hour contracts do not guarantee fixed hours or income each week.
Work availability may vary depending on service demand
Income may fluctuate from week to week
Bank staff are entitled to statutory holiday pay and the National Minimum Wage, but may have limited access to other employee benefits
