Are you a compassionate and reliable Care Assistant looking to make a genuine difference in people's lives? Kitnocks House is looking for dedicated individuals with at least one year's experience within a care home setting to join our exceptional team.

It's a vibrant and rewarding place to work, where every day brings the opportunity to make someone's life that little bit brighter.

What You'll BringYou'll thrive here if you're kind-hearted, patient, and committed to providing care that goes beyond the basics. We're looking for people who naturally treat residents with warmth and respect.

Experience working in a nursing home supporting residents with dementia, mental health, elderly or complex care needs within the UK (required)

Average: 40.25 hours per week

Alternate weekends

Don't Drive? We make your commute easy with transport to and from work from our local pickup points!

What You'll Be DoingNo two days are quite the same as a Healthcare Assistant, but your main responsibilities will include:

Support all aspects of daily living including personal care, mealtimes, and social activities

Promote independence, choice, and dignity in every interaction

Observe and report on changes in residents' health and well-being

Collaborate with your team to ensure exceptional, person-centred care

Communicate openly and respectfully with colleagues, residents, and their loved ones

Why Join Us?At Cornerstone Healthcare, you'll be part of a team that genuinely cares - about our residents, our standards, and one another. We're proud of our reputation for excellence, and even prouder of the people who make it possible.

If you have the experience, compassion, and drive to make a difference, we'd love to hear from you.
