Job Description
Are you a Care Assistant and ready for the next step in your career? Do you want to work for a company who actually lives the values of quality and continuity?
We’re looking for a dedicated and experienced Senior Care Assistant to join us who will support our clients & our Care Assistant team across Swindon, Highworth, and the Vale of White Horse.
