Most care jobs feel like you're just getting through the shift. But this role in a home that earned 'Outstanding' status is different: you'll work somewhere that actually invests in you, trusts you to mentor new staff, and creates a culture where residents thrive because the team does too
Picture this: you're part of a team that doesn't just manage care, it crafts moments of joy. One resident finds peace in the sensory garden you help them access. Another lights up at movie night in the cinema because you've built that trust. You're not rushing between tasks; you're genuinely improving lives, day by day
You'll have real responsibility here. Senior staff will trust you to support and train newer team members, which means you're developing leadership skills while staying hands-on in direct care. That's how you grow in this work without leaving the frontline
The home has personality and resources that matter: a hair salon, library, themed dining spaces designed around what residents love. You're working in an environment that respects dignity and individual preference, not one running on minimum standards. That changes how you feel about coming to work
What you will be doing
- Support residents with daily living tasks including personal care, hygiene, toileting, bathing and medication support, tailored to each person's individual needs
- Answer the nurse call system promptly and respond to residents' requests with compassion and efficiency
- Mentor and support junior and new staff members in their roles, working under the guidance of senior staff to build capability across the team
- Carry out regular welfare checks on residents at intervals set by senior staff, and report on wellbeing to GPs and support managers as needed
- Manage rotas and documentation including keyworker records, ensuring all paperwork is completed to standard within agreed timeframes
- Answer the door and telephone professionally, passing on messages accurately and promptly
Why you will love working here
- £14.30 per hour, paid reliably so you know where you stand
- Professional development support to build your skills and move forward in care work
- Employee of the Month recognition that celebrates your real contribution
- Blue Light Card discount scheme to stretch your money further
- Refer a Friend bonus, because finding good people matters and we reward you for it
Is this you?
- Is this you: you've got real experience in residential care and you know what good looks like?
- You're drawn to person-centred care; you see residents as individuals, not tasks to tick off
- You're ready to mentor others and help build a stronger team, not just focus on your own workload
- You're organised enough to keep records straight and communicate with GPs and managers without chasing
- You share the home's values: being responsive, showing genuine compassion, and wanting to create a warm, safe environment where people actually want to work
