Health Care Assistants

Our Health Care Assistants support people to live their best lives, whatever that looks like to them. No two days will ever be the same, but your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

• supporting people with their personal care
• assisting people at meal times
• understanding individual health and wellbeing needs
• encouraging and supporting people to take part in social activities, both in and out of the home
• promoting choice, dignity, independence and respect
• completing and maintaining care records.
  
  We value relevant experience and qualifications, but they aren't essential for this role.
Above all, you're someone who identifies with our Exemplar Health Care values of fun, integrity, responsiveness, success and teamwork. You're also…
• caring, kind, understanding and calm
• able to deal with, and defuse, challenging situations
• energetic and outgoing, with a positive, can-do attitude
• a great listener and communicator.
You'll put people at the heart of everything you do.

Are you a caring, compassionate and cheerful person with lots to give? Join us as our new Health Care Assistant at Wheldale Heights care home in Castleford. As a Health Care Assistant, you'll support adults living with complex care needs to live their best lives. This role will give you a tremendous sense of achievement and pride - you'll be making a real difference each and every day. About Exemplar Health Care Wheldale Heights is part of Exemplar Health Care, a leading provider of nursing care for adults living with complex and high acuity needs. We support adults living with complex mental health needs and neuro-disabilities, including Huntington's disease and Parkinson's disease. As well as stable and secure employment opportunities, we offer great benefits and perks, and plenty of opportunities to learn, develop and progress., Exemplar Health Care began as a healthcare consultancy and training firm. But we soon saw a gap in the sector: a lack of care homes for younger adults living with complex needs. That insight shaped the mission we still live by today - to transform complex care and provide fulfilling opportunities for the people who need it most. We're now proud to have more than 60 care homes across England, providing nursing care for adults living with dementia, neuro-disabilities, mental health conditions, and physical disabilities. Whoever you are, and whatever experience you bring, there are lots of ways you can help us make every day better for the people we support.
