You'll support residents with all aspects of daily living, helping them build independence, confidence and choice. No two days are the same in this varied, complex care environment. One day you might be accompanying a resident to a hospital appointment, the next you could be heading out to the theatre, a disco, or a local community group.

* Following all relevant policies and procedures to keep the home running smoothly
Training and development

* Extensive induction training
* Care Certificate completion
* Specific training and qualifications suited to residents' needs
* NVQ qualifications
What we're looking for
* Able to work independently and as part of a team
* Willing to work flexible hours, including weekends when required
* Confident communicator at all levels
* Calm under pressure and in challenging situations
* Computer literate, with the ability to write clear reports
Essential requirements
* Right to live and work in the UK
