Care Assistant

Job description

About the RoleBank hours only. We're looking for an enthusiastic and committed Care Assistant to join our team. Working under the guidance of a Registered Nurse, you'll support the physical, emotional and social well‐being of our residents. This includes personal care such as washing, dressing, hygiene and meals, as well as helping with daily activities in the home. You'll deliver care that comes from the heart – making sure residents never lose their individuality. Whether you're supporting someone with limited mobility, offering comfort to a distressed resident, or providing compassionate end‐of‐life care, you'll always put their wellbeing first.

Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility in adult social care. You must recognise signs that may indicate possible abuse, harm or neglect in its different forms and know what to do if there are any concerns. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training appropriate to their role and to undertake additional training in associated areas. You also have the ability to seek appropriate advice and report concerns, including escalation if action is not taken.
