ABOUT THE ROLE
As a Regional Senior 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. 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 on things like temperature and blood pressure amongst a range of other important tasks. The role of Regional Care Assistant is very varied and also involves providing support and companionship. It's vital for us that every resident enjoys meaningful one-to-one time with our carers, every single shift. ABOUT YOU
A background in care is important for the role of Regional Senior Care Assistant, and you'll need a good understanding of elderly care. A Level 2 NVQ in Health & Social Care is essential with a view to complete an NVQ 3, and a good understanding of the wider healthcare industry is required. Ideally, you'll also have a C or above in GCSE English and Maths. Dedicated and compassionate, your passion for people means you'll go above and beyond to support the wellbeing of residents.
