Making a difference means more than just providing care, it's about bringing comfort, companionship and dignity to people's lives. It's being there to offer a reassuring smile, a listening ear and a helping hand when it's needed most. As a Care Assistant, you'll support individuals with daily tasks, encourage independence and create meaningful connections that truly impact their well-being. Your kindness can turn everyday moments into something special, helping people live with dignity and joy.

Personal care is an essential part of being a Care Assistant, ensuring that those you support can maintain their dignity at all times. This includes helping with things like washing, dressing, bathroom visits and always respecting personal choices and preferences. For example, you might support someone in getting ready for the day by helping them dress and ensuring they feel comfortable and confident in the outfit they have chosen to wear. While these responsibilities may feel personal, they are crucial in providing compassionate and respectful care, you empower individuals to live as independently as possible while feeling valued and supported.

Contact us to learn more about daily life in our home as a Care Assistant and take the first step towards a rewarding career in care. Together, we can positively impact the lives of those who need care and support, helping them live with dignity and purpose. At Thistle Court, we encourage a continuation of life - supporting individuals to be as independent as they can be.

Our interview process gives you the opportunity to make sure Thistle Court is the right place for you. We'll start by talking you through the basics over the phone, followed by an online interview.
