Working day shifts, you will support daily routines, build trusting relationships and help create a safe, welcoming home where people feel valued and listened to. This role involves shift work, including two out of three weekends, and you must be able to commit to working 28 hours every week.
What your role will involve
• Providing personal and intimate care with dignity
• Acting as a key worker and contributing to care plans
• Supporting wellbeing, nutrition and daily activities
• Maintaining a clean, safe and comfortable environment

About you
You are caring, reliable and respectful, with a genuine interest in supporting older people. Experience in care is welcome but not essential. You will be comfortable using basic IT systems and willing to register with the SSSC and join the PVG Scheme. An SVQ Level 3 in Social Care is desirable, or a willingness to work towards this. You will also be respectful of the Christian ethos of CrossReach and able to commit to regular shift work, including weekends.
If you are looking for a role where your care and compassion truly matter, this could be the opportunity for you. Apply today and join CrossReach to support older people to live well, with dignity and respect.
We also offer you a range of benefits that you would expect from an organisation that support others.
Firstly, there is access to a wide range of exclusive retail and leisure discounts through our rewards scheme and the Blue Light Discount card. We also ensure that your future and that of your loved ones is secured with a generous contributory pension plan and death in service benefit.

We even have access to a care concierge service to assist you with life's challenges, providing invaluable support when you need it most.
But we also know that your training and development is important to you, and as well as a contribution to your professional membership fees, we are keen to support you in making the right steps to learn, grow and develop in ways that are right for you.
