Care Support Assistant
About The Role
We are proud to provide high-quality residential and dementia care in a warm, welcoming environment where residents feel safe, valued, and at home.
Located in Northampton, our care home offers comfortable accommodation, excellent facilities, and a varied programme of activities designed to promote wellbeing and enhance quality of life. Our friendly and dedicated team is committed to delivering person-centred care, ensuring that every resident is treated with dignity, compassion, and respect.
We strive to create a genuine "home from home" atmosphere where residents can feel comfortable, content, and well cared for. By supporting residents to maintain their independence, build meaningful relationships, and enjoy daily activities, we help create a positive and fulfilling living environment for everyone in our care.
What will you be doing?
As a Care and Support Worker, you will play a vital role in delivering high-quality, person-centred care to our residents. Supporting older people, including those living with dementia, you will help promote independence, dignity, choice, and wellbeing in a warm and welcoming environment.
Working as part of a dedicated team, you will support residents with their daily routines, including personal care, mobility, mealtimes, and social activities. You will build positive relationships with residents and their families, encourage meaningful engagement, monitor changes in wellbeing, and contribute to creating a safe, comfortable, and homely environment.
Based at our purpose-built care home in Northampton, we provide both long-term residential care and short-term respite care, supporting residents to live fulfilling lives while receiving the care they need.
We currently have permanent opportunities available for 21, 33, or 36 hours per week. These roles are worked on a rota basis across 7.5-hour shifts between 7:45am and 8:00pm, including alternate weekends and bank holidays where required. Flexible working patterns are available depending on the needs of the service.
If you are passionate about making a positive difference in people's lives and enjoy working as part of a caring and supportive team, we would love to hear from you.
About You
You are a kind, compassionate, and reliable individual who is passionate about making a positive difference in the lives of older people. Whether you already have experience in care or are looking to start a rewarding career in the sector, we will provide the training and support you need to succeed.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will have a caring and empathetic approach, excellent communication skills, and the ability to build positive relationships with residents, their families, and colleagues. You'll be a team player who can also work independently, using your initiative to provide high-quality, person-centred support that promotes dignity, choice, and independence.
Previous experience in a care setting is desirable but not essential. Above all, we are looking for individuals who share our values, have a positive attitude, and are committed to delivering outstanding care. Flexibility is important, as the role involves working a rota pattern, including alternate weekends and bank holidays where required.
In return, you'll receive comprehensive training, ongoing support, and opportunities for learning and development within a welcoming and supportive team environment. Whether you're new to care or looking to further your career, we'll help you build the skills and confidence to thrive in the role.
