Whether providing long- or short-term care that includes respite and palliative care, our focus is always on providing the kindest and highest quality care.
Delivering a level of care that truly comes from the heart. It’s about making sure our residents never lose their dignity or sense of individuality as you get involved in general activities within the care home. And, whether you’re helping someone with limited mobility to learn to use an aid, offering emotional support to a confused or distressed resident or delivering care to someone at the end of their life, you’ll always have their well-being in mind above anything else.
Duties are varied but will include.

- Supporting Residents with personal care activities such as washing, personal hygiene, dressing and assisting with meals
- Helping Residents with limited mobility
- Taking responsibility for the wellbeing of Residents on and off site.

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility in adult social care and therefore it is important that you are able to recognise the signs which may indicate possible abuse, harm or neglect in its different forms and know what to do if there are any concerns. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training appropriate to their role and to undertake additional training in associated areas. You also have the ability to seek appropriate advice and report concerns, including escalation if action is not taken.
