In our home, being a Senior Care Assistant means more than supporting daily routines — it’s about guiding a team, nurturing a caring environment, and making sure our residents always feel valued and safe.

Whether it’s coordinating care plans, supporting medication administration, or being a reassuring presence for both residents and colleagues, your role is vital. You’ll provide hands-on care while taking on added responsibility, helping to create a home where residents thrive and team members feel supported.

We’re here to support your career too. Whether you’re aiming for a leadership role, mentoring others, or working towards further qualifications, we’ll be by your side to help you grow.

What we’re looking for:

You’ll already have an SVQ Level 3 in Health & Social Care, with experience in a care setting — ideally around a year or more. You’re confident in leading shifts, supporting your team, and ensuring the delivery of exceptional, person-centred care.

About you:

You’re calm under pressure, empathetic, and committed to making a difference. You naturally lead with kindness and respect, and you’re someone your team and residents can rely on. You bring initiative, responsibility, and a positive attitude to everything you do.

Apply today and take the next step in your care career — with a team that values you and a role where your leadership truly matters.
