Senior Care Assistant Nights
Every Great Care Home Has Leaders. Not All of Them Wear Management Badges.
Location: Bowburn Manor, Durham
Hours: Full Time / Part Time Available (with every other weekend off)
Contract: Permanent
Salary: Competitive
Be the Person Others Look To
Bowburn Manor is preparing to open as Durham's newest luxury care home, and we're looking for exceptional Senior Care Assistants to join our founding team.
As part of the St Mary's Care Group, we believe later life should be lived with dignity, fulfilment and choice. We believe care is about more than support. It's about relationships, trust, confidence and helping people enjoy every day to its fullest.
We're searching for experienced carers who naturally lead by example.
The people who notice when someone needs support.
The people who encourage a new colleague.
The people whose calm reassurance makes all the difference.
The people who help turn a team into a family.
Your Opportunity
Joining Bowburn Manor before opening gives you the chance to help establish a culture of excellence from the very beginning.
As a Senior Care Assistant, you will play an important leadership role within the care team, ensuring residents receive outstanding support while helping colleagues develop confidence and skills.
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 help shape the resident experience, influence standards and become an integral part of the home's future success.
