A day in the Life:

As a Care Assistant, this isn’t just a job. It’s a role where you’ll become a trusted presence in someone’s life helping them get ready in the morning, sharing a chat over lunch, or simply being there with a smile when they need it most. You’ll help residents maintain their independence, deliver personal care with empathy, and be part of a strong, supportive team who genuinely care for one another. We don’t use agency staff here, so you’ll enjoy the consistency and camaraderie that comes from working with familiar faces who always have your back.

Whether it’s assisting with meals, tidying a room, helping someone get ready for bed, or sharing a laugh during an activity you’ll play a vital part in creating a happy, safe and respectful home where people feel valued, understood and at peace.

Why you'll love it here:

Mearns View is known not just for its high standards of care, but also for its strong team spirit. Many of our staff have been with us from the very beginning, and we’re proud of the friendly, positive atmosphere they’ve helped create. We’re growing now as we open our top floor to new residents currently home to 38 of our full 67 capacity so there’s never been a better time to join.

What you’ll bring:

• Ideally, an SVQ/NVQ Level 2 in Health & Social Care.
• Previous experience in a care home or health & social care role (6–12 months preferred).
• A calm, kind, and reliable approach to supporting others.
• A team spirit and a passion for helping others live well.
