Job description
Porthaven Care Homes
Upton Mill – Tetbury
We are looking for an experienced Care assistant or someone looking to develop a career in Health & Social Care to join the team in our beautiful, new care home
About us: Porthaven’s brand new care home, Upton Mill, is perfectly situated in the beautiful Cotswold town of Tetbury, a stone’s throw from the bustling high street at the heart of the community and within close reach of the M4 and M5 motorways and provides 24-hour residential, nursing and dementia care to the elderly. We look after up to 64 residents in beautifully decorated, private, en suite bedrooms, with a range of well-appointed lounges, dining rooms and landscaped, terraced gardens. As part of the Porthaven Care Home Group, we are committed to delivering person-centred care through the development of individualised care plans, to ensure the physical, emotional and social needs of our residents are met, and that they receive care that promotes choice, dignity and respect
About the role: Under the guidance of the Registered Nurse on duty, you will carry out a wide range of care tasks, offering our residents emotional as well as physical support. You will assist residents with personal care such as washing, personal hygiene, dressing and feeding, and provide physical and mental stimulation by taking part in social and recreational activities. You will also help to maintain accurate care records, and get involved in welcoming and training new staff. Promoting our residents’ independence, choice, dignity and respect by spending time getting to know them and their families, will help you to deliver the high standards of person-centred care that is of paramount importance to Porthaven
About you: Cheerful and compassionate by nature, you will possess sound judgment, initiative and problem-solving abilities and be able to pay attention to the details. Reading, writing and communicating clearly in English is vital. Experience is preferred, but not as essential as your genuine desire to develop or progress a career in this field. A respectful and courteous attitude to seniors is required, and weekend availability is highly desirable
Successful appointments are subject to satisfactory references and a DBS check, and candidates must be authorised to work in the EU
To ensure our staff can provide the highest possible standards of care, we provide a comprehensive induction programme as well as on-going training and development.
