Senior Care Assistant

As a Senior Care Assistant, we ask for you to care for our residents like they are your own family, addressing their physical, psychological, and social needs. You will assist residents with personal care activities such as washing, personal hygiene, dressing, and assisting with meals. In this role, you will also be responsible for the medication round and leading the shift. We welcome applications from candidates who have previously worked as a Senior Care Assistant, Care Giver, Homecare Worker, or Community Support Worker. We provide full training and also welcome candidates who do not have previous senior experience but have a passion for care with a valid qualification.

We are part of a family-run business, the Wood Care Group, and our employees are important to us.
