Conveniently positioned on the south-west side of the village, close to all the local amenities, Wing View is in a peaceful neighbourhood. And with Leighton Buzzard just three miles to the east and Aylesbury five miles away, it’s ideally situated for residents to make the most of life in Buckinghamshire. Residents will live their lives in welcoming, relaxing surroundings, cared for by a dedicated team who will support them according to their own needs.

We are looking for you to work as a care assistant making a real difference to our residents' lives every day. Along with supporting daily routines and personal care (washing, bathing, supporting toilet use), we are looking for the right people to genuinely care for our residents and create a happy fulfilled life for them. Some days may be challenging but you will laugh, have fun, and make lasting memories. You’ll become part of our extended family too, bringing kindness, exceptional care, and dignity to our care homes.

We are looking for both experienced carers and those that are new to care to build our teams with diverse people who can bring all sorts of life experience to the job. We provide induction training and support, with ongoing development opportunities for you to really build a career with us. You will be a great communicator and able to build relationships and positive working and living environments. We’d love you to love your job.

AND IN RETURN
We’re currently the second largest not-for-profit provider in the UK, meaning we reinvest every penny we make into our homes, residents' lives, and team members. We offer a great range of benefits:

  • 28 days holiday; increasing with length of service (pro rat’d for part time)
  • Workplace pension
  • Free uniform
  • Free DBS
  • Free car parking
