About the role:

Are you able to wear your heart on your sleeve? Can you change a moment and make a difference? Can you help to transform lives? If so, we would love for you to join our family at Ferndale Care Home. This is an important role, and you'll receive our full support including a full training programme and induction.

Our Care Assistants' main priority is to ensure our residents' happiness and wellbeing. You will be assisting our residents with washing and personal hygiene, preparing drinks and snacks, and administering medication if necessary. The key is to consider each person's physical and emotional needs. Every resident is different, and you must respect their individuality.

It's all about creating a friendly, supportive environment - one where people are independent and free to make their own choices. We are interested in people who find caring comes naturally and will put the needs of our residents first. It's important you can work as part of a team, keep accurate records, and above all, you must be people-focused and enjoy working with our residents and in a team. There is also enhanced pay for working weekends and bank holidays.

By joining us at Ferndale Care Home, you will have the chance to build your skills with high-quality training. Even better, you'll find your greatness by taking care of older people and enhancing their wellbeing.
