Birdston Care Home, located in Kirkintilloch, just 15 minutes from Glasgow, is a modern, fully refurbished care home with over 20 years of experience. We deliver high-quality, person-centred care for frail-elderly residents, including specialist dementia and respite care. Rated all 5s by the Care Inspectorate and holding an outstanding 9.9 score on carehome.co.uk, we’re proud of our reputation for excellence. Join our friendly, supportive team in a rewarding role, working in a safe, spacious environment with beautiful gardens and stunning views of the Campsie Fells.

As Senior Care Assistant, you’ll play a key role in leading our care team, ensuring our residents receive the highest standard of care, and creating a warm, supportive environment.

You’ll coordinate shifts, lead by example, and be responsible for the performance of your team during each shift. Your leadership will help us maintain a caring, efficient, and positive atmosphere in our home.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead and Coordinate: Ensure all staff contribute to the smooth running of the home and create the right atmosphere.
  • Resident Support: Assist residents with dressing, bathing, toileting, and mobility, always prioritizing their dignity and independence.
  • Medication Management: Oversee the ordering, administration, and documentation of medication, maintaining accurate records.
  • Effective Communication: Engage with residents, families, healthcare professionals, and team members to ensure clear, compassionate communication.
  • Team Collaboration: Foster a team ethos, respecting diversity and promoting a supportive environment for all staff.
  • Visitor Interaction: Welcome visitors and show prospective residents and families around the home’s facilities.
  • Emergency Response: Respond promptly to emergency call bells, assess situations, and provide or call for assistance as needed.
  • Documentation: Write and update care plans, risk assessments, and case notes, ensuring they reflect residents’ needs and wishes.
  • Professional Development: Participate in staff meetings, training, and e-learning, taking responsibility for your own growth and development.
  • Health and Safety: Be aware of and adhere to Health and Safety policies, including COSHH, and escalate concerns to management.

What We’re Looking For

  • Qualifications: SVQ/NVQ Level 3 in Health & Social Care is essential. We also welcome applications from experienced Care Assistants actively working towards their Level 3.
  • Medication Training: Practical Medication Administration with competencies is required.
  • Leadership Skills: Ability to lead, motivate, and develop a team, delegating tasks effectively while maintaining a supportive environment.
  • Compassionate Nature: A kind, caring, and compassionate personality with a sense of fun and a commitment to person-centred care.

Our care home is part of Care Concern Group; a market leading, family-owned care group operating over 100 homes across the UK. We are passionate about creating fantastic care homes for our residents to live in and a supportive and fun environment for our team to work in.

We are driven by the five core values that define the Care Concern Group:

Trust | Respect | Passion | Kindness | Inclusivity
These values define who we are and underpin everything we do, from the smallest interaction to the most complex care. If you live by these principles, this is a place where you can belong and truly make a difference.


If you’re ready to embrace a new challenge and use your skills to lead and inspire a team, we’d love to hear from you! Apply today and make a difference.
