Your Day-to-Day

As a Care Assistant, you’ll make a real difference by helping residents live each day with dignity, independence, and joy.
You’ll support with daily routines such as personal care, dressing, mealtimes, hobbies, and keeping active while building genuine relationships that brighten someone’s day. You’ll work closely with colleagues, follow care plans, and communicate any changes in wellbeing, always putting kindness at the heart of everything you do.

• A warm, friendly nature and a genuine interest in caring for others
• Good communication skills and the ability to work well in a team
• A respectful, person-centred approach
• Level 2 in Health & Social Care (helpful but not essential)

You’ll be joining a values-led care home that’s part of the Care Concern Group, a family-owned provider with over 130 care homes across the UK. We’re expanding rapidly and are committed to delivering high-quality care and support to our residents. If you’re ready to take on a rewarding role in a growing and supportive environment, we’d love to hear from you.
We believe in delivering care to the highest standard, and our five core values guide everything we do:

Trust | Respect | Passion | Kindness | Inclusivity

These values define who we are and underpin everything we do, from the smallest interaction to the most complex care. If you live by these principles, this is a place where you can belong and truly make a difference.
