We make health happen
Join The Bridles, a brand-new, state-of-the-art care home in Wincanton. Built for the future, we provide residential, nursing and specialist dementia care.
This isn’t just another care role — it’s your chance to help shape a new home, build a team culture, and set the standard from the very beginning.
With beautiful surroundings, smart technology, and a real focus on comfort and connection, The Bridles is somewhere you’ll be proud to work.
Why nights at The Bridles?
If you enjoy calmer environments, meaningful one-to-one care, and taking real ownership of your shift — nights are where you thrive.
As a Senior Care Assistant, you’ll lead from the front, running the unit overnight and making a genuine impact on residents’ comfort, safety, and wellbeing.
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.
What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll take ownership of the night shift while supporting both residents and your team:
- Lead and coordinate the unit overnight
- Support clinical care alongside the Nurse (meds, observations, care plans)
- Guide and mentor Care Assistants on shift
- Deliver high-quality, person-centred care
- Build strong relationships with residents and families
- Ensure smooth, confident handovers
What We’re Looking For
- NVQ Level 3 in Care (or working towards it – we’ll support you)
- Experience as a Senior or ready to step up
- Confident leading a shift and supporting others
- Calm, compassionate and organised — especially at night
- Passion for delivering truly personalised care
Why join Bupa?
We don’t just support residents — we support you.
- Free meal on every shift
- Wagestream – access pay early
- Interest-free annual travel loan to enable the purchase of public transport annual season tickets
- 24/7 health support (GP, physio, mental health)
