Care Assistants

Do you want a fresh start in a different organisation or a brand new career direction? Are you looking for a hugely rewarding and very worthwhile working life where YOU can make a massive difference to other people's lives (and to yours) by the way you talk, interact and work alongside people of a much older generation?

We are looking for experienced Care assistants:

• Are you a naturally warm, patient, supportive and kind person?

• Do you enjoy the company of much older people?

• Are you always respectful and polite?

• Are you honest, trustworthy and reliable?

• Are you a realist (care is hard work) with a positive, friendly can-do attitude?

• Are you patient? Our residents live with differing forms of dementia and you need to have patience and good listening skills to be able to communicate in their way and at their pace.

Do you currently have the right to work in the UK (sorry we do not sponsor any positions).
