The Role of Care Assistant – This is a casual (bank) position. As a Care Bank Worker you will be asked to work when required, and will have the choice as to whether or not to accept any work that we offer you. You'll be at the front line of care delivery. You’ll help residents with their individual care needs, such as personal care, medical care and following social interests. You’ll build a special bond with each resident, and give professional and emotional support during difficult times, such as periods of illness. Your days as a Carer will be varied, interesting and rewarding by assisting residents with washing, dressing, eating, drinking and getting around. Importantly, you’ll help make them feel at home and be respectful of residents’ choices; their dignity and independence. You’ll also be integral to developing residents' Care Plans, which includes being aware of any specialist support needs.
In line with your casual (bank) worker assignment agreement, we offer competitive pay that is benchmarked regularly, and in line with those of our employed staff in similar roles. Depending on how many hours you work, you will accrue leave at an equivalent rate of 31 days paid leave in a full calendar year, inclusive of bank/public holidays (pro rata). To carry out this role, you will be provided with mandatory training to get you started, as part of a comprehensive induction. To work for us in future assignments, you will be expected to keep your mandatory training up to date.

If that sounds like you, we think you’ll fit right in at Abbeyfield! Whether you’re new to the world of care or looking to retrain, we’re looking for people to join our growing team of care assistants. Don’t worry if you have no experience - we’ll provide you with all the training you need.
