What your typical day involves

  • Assisting residents with personal care duties such as bathing, dressing and continence care in their own homes within the Village. Providing the highest standards of care, you’ll champion the dignity, and independence of all our residents

Who we’re looking for

Above all, you’ll be passionate about caring for others, respecting people’s choices and always putting their safety and welfare first. A great listener with a positive outlook, you’re confident talking to both residents and their families and understand that confidentiality is very important in what we do. Always ready to lead by example and support the wider team, you’ll deliver care with dignity and compassion and work to put a smile on our residents’ faces every day.
