Role Overview
As a Senior Care Assistant, you will be responsible for caring for our residents with the same level of care and attention you would give to your own family, addressing their Physical, Psychological, and Social needs. Your duties will include assisting residents with personal care activities such as washing, personal hygiene, dressing, and meal assistance. You will also manage the medication round and lead the shift.
We welcome applications from those with previous experience as a Senior Care Assistant, Care Giver, Homecare Worker, or Community Support Worker. Full training is provided, and we also welcome candidates without previous senior experience but who have a passion for care and a valid qualification.
