Care Assistant

Being a Care Assistant will involve you supporting elderly residents with their day-to-day lives, this can include supporting residents who are on a dementia journey at meal times, joining in and supporting with activities, going out into the community, personal care including support with washing, dressing and using the bathroom and recording daily notes on to the home's computer system which requires excellent attention to detail.

Frome Nursing Home is a care home made up of many different personalities, life histories, faiths and identities. No two people are the same yet there is so much commonality throughout the home, no matter how diverse we are, we all have the ability to be compassionate, to be kind to each other, to want to strive towards excellence (one of Frome's values). This isn't just about carrying out a job, our people are here because they want to give our residents a continuation of life and to ensure they always feel safe, valued and live with dignity at a place they can call home.
