Are you a caring and compassionate individual who enjoys caring for others?  

Ashland Road West is a registered care home that provides person-centred care to ten service users with moderate to profound learning disabilities, physical disabilities, communication needs and complex healthcare related requirements. 

Our aim is to maximize their independence through the support we provide. We are collaborative in our approach and require caring and enthusiastic team players to join our family of expert colleagues to support our service users to live a fulfilling and meaningful life every day.  

What’s the catch?  

There isn’t one. We offer more than just a job at NCHA and want to equip you with the right skills and knowledge to continually exceed expectations and grow. No experience is required! We are currently recruiting Support Workers and Care Assistant to join our friendly team. We also welcome Bank Workers.  

So what is required? 

You must be willing to learn and demonstrate excellent personal values to succeed in this role. Full training will be provided. This role carries responsibilities such as: 

• Administrating medication. 
• Co-ordinating shifts, monitoring and managing the colleagues’ Rota. 
• Providing emotional and physical support 
• High levels of personal care (including washing, bathing, dressing and feeding service users) 
• Assisting service users with domestic tasks such as cooking.  
•  

Our service users have a high dependency nature with the use of wheelchairs and hoists. As such, you must be willing and able to carry out moving and handling duties. We are a team that helps to build confidence and life skills at every opportunity! 

Our home is staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days per year to meet the needs of our wonderful service users. It is essential that you are able to work various shifts on a rota basis including; early shifts, late shifts, bank holidays, weekends and waking nights. A bonus is also paid waking night shifts!  

On occasion, you will be required to support day trips out, health appointments, sickness and emergency cover situations.  Where possible we will plan in advance to ensure you have a great work/life balance.
