Care Assistant in Cwmbran

Here for people. Here for communities. Here for you.

What is the role? 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.

Please note: We’re unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role. We’re offering PT/FT hours with a range of shift options, including long days, early, late and night shifts across weekdays and weekends. We’ll talk through your availability and what works for you, while making sure we cover the shifts the home needs to provide the best care for our residents. Some of our homes may have limited public transport links, and some shifts start early or finish late. You’ll therefore need reliable transport to and from work.

What you’ll be doing:

• Support residents to achieve their personal wellbeing outcomes by promoting independence, encouraging choice, and enabling meaningful involvement in activities that matter to them.
• Provide compassionate personal and practical support to residents, including supporting activities of daily living, mobility, personal care such as washing, dressing and helping people use the bathroom, while actively promoting their dignity, independence, and overall wellbeing.
• Build positive, trusting relationships, offering kindness, conversation and emotional support to help residents feel safe and valued.
• Digitally monitor and record care support accurately, following care plans, reporting concerns and keeping colleagues informed.

What you’ll bring:

• A kind, patient and caring approach, with a genuine desire to support people.
• 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.

Interested in applying? We’ll review all applications and if you’re shortlisted, we’ll get in touch to arrange an interview at Cwmbran House Care Home. Please note that all successful applicants must be registered, or be prepared to register, with Social Care Wales (SCW) as a requirement of the role. If you’re successful at the end of the recruitment process, we’ll offer you the role and begin your pre-employment checks. This includes confirming your right to work and completing an enhanced DBS check, which we’ll organise and pay for.
