Care Assistant

Job description

Job DescriptionLocation: 8 Newdigate Street, West Hallam

Do you have experience in care or are you looking for that new challenge?

We are looking for local people who are passionate about providing an outstanding level of care and going the extra mile for our residents. And we currently have a vacancy working 35 hours per week over 5 shifts.

About The RoleThe ideal candidate must be flexible in working all shifts.

It might not be that you have any paid experience providing care to others; however you may have looked after and given care to a friend or family member. It would be desirable if you have an NVQ2 or are working towards it. If not, don't worry, we can provide you with all the training that you need in our induction scheme and through our buddying scheme when you start in our home.

Working for an established care provider like Ashmere, you start your journey with us by attending our monthly new starter company induction with all new joiners from all of our homes. We will kit you out with uniform, pay for your DBS check, provide you with regular training and maybe even spoil you with cake from time to time!

About The CompanyAt Ashmere, we've been supporting communities in Derbyshire for three generations with a proud heritage in elder care. Across our seven care homes, we deliver a full range of services including residential care, nursing, dementia support, complex continuing health care, and end-of-life care — even providing a dedicated household for Deaf and hard-of-hearing residents cared for by BSL‐fluent staff.

Our mission is simple: to offer care as if our residents were family — ensuring comfort, respect, and quality of life every day.

We believe that exceptional care starts with exceptional people, which is why we invest in staff who share our commitment to compassion, dignity and openness.
