Job description

Do you want to work in a care home that's been rated 'Outstanding' by the CQC?
At Burlington, we look after elderly people, many of whom have a dementia. We believe that qualities rather than qualifications make the best care staff, so the attributes we are looking for are:

  • Kindness and patience.
  • Sense of humour and not being afraid in joining in the fun!
  • Excellent work ethic including time keeping and attendance.
  • Understanding, sympathetic and thoughtful.

In return, we will offer you an excellent rate of £11.00 per hour with weekend enhancements.

DUTIES: Key Tasks may vary but will include

  • Report both verbally and in writing on service users general condition and well being
  • Maintain a clean and safe environment for service users and staff

  • Assist in the collection of specimens and samples
  • Act as a chaperone for medical and professional staff as required
  • Assist service users in maintaining their personal hygiene, dressing and going to bed
  • Report accidents and incidents to the senior member of staff on duty

When on shift you are part of the team complement and as such are required to help and assist with all aspects of resident’s care.

'We expect the home to fit in around every individual, not them fit around the running of the home'!!

We care passionately about the people living here and so applicants must want to make a difference to the resident's lives each and every day.

We have day shifts available (4 or 5 short shifts a week equating to 28 or 35 hours) which include a mixture of early and late shifts, or long day shifts (Three 13 hour shifts per week equating to 39 hours per week) depending on your preference. This includes every other weekend with the opportunity to do overtime with excellent incentive pay on all overtime.

We are currently introducing a 4pm-9pm evening shift - so if you prefer this shift, please specify on your application form.

Nights - We also have waking night shifts available. 20.50 - 0700. Again, please specify if you are applying for night shifts.
