You will help with planning and organising activities for residents, helping residents to maintain personal hygiene and assist residents and their families in the provision of care during illness and at end of life. We are very flexible and offer a variety of shift patterns which include a mixture of 8-2pm, 8-3pm, 3-10pm, 4-9pm. All staff work every other weekend - early and late. If you would like to join us in a Support Worker role, please apply now – no experience is necessary as full training is provided. This is a challenging but rewarding role, so a commitment to deliver quality care is essential. In return we offer an excellent range of benefits including generous holiday entitlement, paid enhancements for weekend/bank holiday/night working, a contributory pension scheme, a planned induction programme, extensive learning and development opportunities, health and wellbeing programmes, flexible working patterns.
