ABOUT THE ROLE As a Peripatetic Care Assistant with Barchester care homes, you will deliver warm, empathetic and respectful care and support across a 20‑mile radius to help our residents get the most out of life. You will monitor the delivery of care when on duty, contribute to the person‑centred care planning process for each resident, and record observations such as temperature and blood pressure. The role is varied and involves providing support and companionship. This is a full time role 48 hours days and nights. It is vital that every resident enjoys meaningful one‑to‑one time with our carers on every shift.
Candidates must have a full driving licence to support all homes in the region.
ABOUT YOU A background in care is important, and you should have a good understanding of elderly care. A Level 2 NVQ in Health & Social Care would be useful, as would a good understanding of the wider healthcare industry. Ideally, you also have a C or above in GCSE English and Maths. Dedicated and compassionate, your passion for people means you go above and beyond to support residents. Because you will be travelling across the area, you need your own car or ready access to one. Mileage over five miles from your main home will be covered, and if you are on duty during an inspection and we achieve a Good rating, you qualify for a bonus.

- Competitive rate of pay plus sector‑leading benefits and rewards package
- Free training and development for all roles
- Access to wellbeing and support tools
- Retail discounts and savings
- Unlimited referrals with our Refer a Friend bonus scheme
- Employee of the Month rewards and Long Service Awards
