Senior Care Assistant (Nights)

Excellent opportunity for an experienced Senior Care Assistant to join the magnificent, experienced team, working nights, at our client’s wonderful residential care home in the friendly, scenic village of Walkeringham.

Are you looking for a fulfilling and rewarding role where every day you can go home feeling you’ve made a difference?

The successful applicant will have an NVQ level 3 Health & Social Care or equivalent.

Must have the right to work in the UK!

Driving licence preferred due to the location of the home.

Our client’s home is a largely purpose built home centred around a nineteenth century barn and sits within two acres of landscaped grounds, which are surrounded by open countryside. The home’s accommodation comprises 40 bedrooms, all with ensuite shower rooms, most of which are located on the ground floor. The home provides personal and dementia care. They have added a large conservatory area over-looking the home’s gardens and surrounding fields as well as a new laundry and adding a cinema room. Whilst in the medium term, they have significant plans to further improve this home, by adding a new welcoming entrance, some additional large bedrooms on top of one of the existing single storey sections of the home, a second lift. As well as their obvious benefits, and allowing the home to care for 50 residents, these improvements together will also significantly improve the configuration of the home. This will make it much easier for our residents to independently move around the home and have safe access to the home’s large central courtyard which has been landscaped with raised flower beds and sensory gardens, to provide their residents with an even more meaningful outdoor experience. It has been rated as ‘Good’ by the CQC in the latest report.

The management team are supported by the qualified and experienced team of carers including the specialist nurses. The dream team are dedicated to providing their duties to the best of their ability, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They provide both short-term and long-term residential care for the elderly and those living with dementia, as well as respite care for both elderly people and their carers. They are committed to making a meaningful difference to the lives of the residents who live at the care home surrounded by fantastic country views in Walkeringham, Nottinghamshire.
