Senior Care Assistant

A great new opportunity has just come up for a Senior Care Assistant (HCA) to join the team at one of a selection of premium care homes in the Ferndown area, supporting top-level residential and respite care on the night shift.

The homes fall under one of the UK’s Top 20 Care Home Groups in 2024, well-known for providing high-quality, person-centred care for people needing a little extra support to live well. Each site is either purpose-built or lovingly refurbished to create a contemporary luxury home that can accommodate each resident’s own needs and preferences, and residents here have the added peace and quiet of the lovely Dorset countryside to enjoy.

As a Night Senior Care Assistant, you’ll support the more advanced elements of care (such as medication and assessments) and mentor more junior members of the team, helping to maintain a comfortable overnight environment and a superb quality of life for the residents.

In return, the team can offer you a fantastic package for a truly rewarding career in care, including further specialist training, opportunities to gain new qualifications, and bespoke support to progress up the ladder; a £500 sign-on bonus* is also available to give you an extra-warm welcome onboard.
