  • Support residents with meals, hydration and general comfort throughout the day.
  • Maintain accurate care records and communicate effectively with colleagues.
  • Work collaboratively with the wider care team to deliver safe, consistent and high-quality care.

The Successful Candidates

  • Previous experience in a UK care home or adult social care setting.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build trust and rapport with residents.
  • A caring, patient and approachable manner, with a genuine commitment to person-centred care.
  • The ability to promote independence, dignity and meaningful engagement.
  • Reliability, flexibility and confidence working as part of a team.
  • A current PVG or willingness to apply.
  • Eligibility to work in the UK.
