We look to recruit people who both embody and share our values: People that always behave with integrity and that seek to inspire everyone they come in contact with.

We have opportunities for Night Care Assistants to join our team.

You will need to demonstrate an understanding of the needs of older people living within the scheme and how to support them to lead valued lives in the community. Good literacy, numerical and verbal skills are a must. It’s also very important that you are organised, patient and of a caring nature.
