Residential Care & Support Assistant

Description

Are you looking for a care role where your work genuinely matters to older adults, while still getting your evenings and weekends back?

We are working with a respected group of care homes across Edinburgh committed to delivering safe, compassionate and dignified care for older people, with a strong focus on person centred support that promotes independence, wellbeing and quality of life.

We are currently recruiting Care Assistants seeking stable, consistent and rewarding work beyond typical agency roles. These are regular day shifts, no nights offering structure, balance and routine.

If you take pride in delivering compassionate care and want to be part of a team that values dignity, respect and quality this could be the right next step.

• Communicate clearly with the wider care team regarding changes in resident’s needs
