Care Assistant in Caerphilly

Make a real impact every day as a Care Assistant at Hafod. We’re looking for kind, caring and reliable people to join our team. You’ll support people with daily living activities and personal care like washing, dressing, helping people use the bathroom as well as supporting with meals, wellbeing activities and routines. It’s hands-on rewarding work where you can genuinely make a difference to the people you support, and no two days are ever the same. We put people first, offering great training, supportive teams and opportunities to grow your career in care.

We’re offering PT/FT hours with a range of shift options, including long days, early, late and night shifts across weekdays and weekends. You’ll therefore need reliable transport to and from work.

What you’ll be doing:

• Provide personal and practical support to residents, including help with daily living, mobility, personal care such as washing, dressing and helping people use the bathroom, and offering general wellbeing support.
• Build positive, trusting relationships, offering kindness, conversation and emotional support to help residents feel safe and valued.
• Support residents to stay as independent as possible, encouraging choice and involvement in activities that matter to them.
• Digitally monitor and record care needs accurately, following care plans, reporting concerns and keeping colleagues informed.
• Work as part of a team, contributing to a warm, inclusive environment and following Hafod’s standards, policies and safeguarding responsibilities.

What you’ll bring:

• A kind, patient and caring approach, with a genuine desire to support people.
• Good communication skills and the ability to build trust, listen and work positively with others.
• Reliability and willingness to learn, with confidence to follow guidance, routines and care plans.
• A respectful, person-centred attitude, valuing each individual's choices, dignity and independence.
• Emotional resilience and a calm manner, especially when supporting residents with varied needs.

Previous care experience isn’t essential, your compassion, reliability and desire to help others are what count. We’ll teach you what you need, and you’ll have the chance to complete a QCF qualification in Health and Social Care, which is a recognised award that supports your skills and career development in Care.
