Job description
We're looking for an caring, positive, enthusiastic Health Care Assistant to join our team at Benholm Care Home!

Maintaining confidentiality and ensuring the safety of those in their care is of the utmost importance to the Health Care Assistant role. Carers are friendly, respectful, considerate, and empathetic team players who are able to accurately identify the needs and abilities of people in order to deliver outstanding person-centred care and ensure the well-being of those they care for. You will receive comprehensive training and be an integral part in helping us maintain a friendly, welcoming atmosphere for all those who work, reside, and visit our homes. Health Care Assistants are invaluable front-line members of any care team and, despite the challenges, it is a truly rewarding profession where you will see the difference you are making in others' lives on a daily basis.
About Us
Here at Benholm Care Home, we believe that everybody is responsible for the care of the elderly members of our communities.

We also know that our team is at the heart of our homes, which is why we promise to support you every step of the way if you choose to become part of our community. As a values-based, family-owned company, we believe that attitude is key. Care isn’t just our job - it’s our ingrained into our culture.
If you’re positive, curious and understand the importance of building relationships, we want to hear from you.
We will support and champion you in whatever direction you want your career to go in. Do you love being a carer and want to stay in the role long-term? We will help you be the best carer you can be.

We will pay for training! Whatever stage of your career you’re at, you can be sure we will help you thrive and flourish. Even our very own Managing Director started out as a carer; we truly believe that anything is possible with the right support, which is what you’ll have with Benholm Care Home.
