**Location - The Crossings, Wendover & Oakmead, Weston Turville**

**About Us**

Hightown is a charitable housing association operating principally in Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire. We believe everyone should have a home and the support they need, so our aim is to build new homes and to provide excellent housing and support.

We currently manage over 8,000 homes and employ over 1,000 full and part time staff from our head office in Hemel Hempstead. We have an annual turnover of £120 million and a development programme that will deliver over 400 new affordable homes each year.

**About the Role**

We currently have opportunities for part time (22.5 & 30 hours per week) and full time (37.5 hours per week) Care Assistants to work within a registered care home where we support people with learning disabilities and mental health problems. We have positions based at our services at

**The Crossings, Wendover** **and** Oakmead, Weston Turville**.

- personal care needs
- mealtimes and social activities
- day trips out
- attending appointments and maintaining their health and well-being
- promoting skills and involvement including shopping and domestic tasks such as cooking and cleaning
- support in any other areas of their daily living.

As a care assistant, you'll follow agreed support plans and risk assessments to ensure that we are providing a highly effective service that meets each individual's needs, supports their aspirations and maximises their independence.

**About You**

You'll be a caring and enthusiastic individual with a 'can-do' attitude, who is driven by the desire to make a difference and have the ability to recognise and understanding the needs of vulnerable adults with learning disabilities. Desired qualities will include:

- Effective communicator using different methods according to the complex needs of those in your care.
- Previous experience as a care assistant is desirable but not essential.
- Ability to work shifts as part of a rota system, including some weekend and bank holiday working
- Teamwork and flexibility are key to the success of the services we provide, as is a clear commitment to equality and diversity
