What your typical day involves
  • Assisting residents with personal care duties such as bathing, dressing and toileting
  • Providing the highest standards of care, you’ll champion the dignity and independence of all our residents
  • Supporting at mealtimes: serving meals and transferring residents to the dining room. This might involve supporting them to walk, transferring them in a wheelchair or using a hoist

Always ready to lead by example and support the wider team, you’ll deliver care with dignity and compassion and work to put a smile on our residents’ faces every day.
