ABOUT THE ROLE
This is a casual, flexible role offering working patterns to suit the needs of the service. As a Bank Regional Care Assistant with Barchester care homes, you’ll deliver warm, empathetic and respectful care and support across a ~20‑mile radius to help our residents get the most out of life. It’s a varied role that involves providing cover as and when required. On a practical level, you can expect to monitor the delivery of care when on duty, contribute to the person‑centred care planning process for each resident and record observations (e.g., temperature and blood pressure) among other important tasks. The role also involves providing support and companionship, with an emphasis on meaningful one‑to‑one time with our residents on every shift.
ABOUT YOU
A background in care is important for the role of Bank Regional Care Assistant, with a good understanding of elderly care. A Level 2 NVQ in Health and Social Care would be useful, as would a good understanding of the wider healthcare industry. Ideally, you’ll also have a C or above in GCSE English and Maths. You should be dedicated and compassionate, with a passion for people and a readiness to go above and beyond to support residents’ wellbeing. Flexibility is important, and because you’ll travel across the area you’ll either need your own car or ready access to one. We’ll cover mileage when you travel more than five miles from your main home, and if you’re on duty during an inspection and we achieve a ‘Good’ rating, you’ll qualify for a bonus.
REWARDS PACKAGE
As well as competitive pay, you can look forward to true flexibility and opportunities for learning and development. As one of the UK’s leading healthcare providers, we support the growth of everyone who works for us.
WORK TYPE
As this is a Bank position to provide cover as and when needed (for example for annual leave or sick leave), hours and days will vary.
If you’d like to use your care experience and people skills in an organisation that provides the quality care you’d expect for your loved ones, this is a rewarding place to be.
