Care and Support Assistant

Working in busy care and support homes, you will have picked up the most amazing skills- you will undoubtedly be a great communicator, with a thorough and hardworking attitude and patience and buckets of empathy! Why not join us? Dean Healthcare offers a wealth of benefits for your service: from separately accrued holiday pay to bespoke specialist training, you’ll get all the support and opportunities to do what you do best.

Your Duties

We have various shifts available (and you get enhanced pay for nights, weekends and bank holidays!) Providing care and support to people, often with health conditions or additional needs such as dementia or learning difficulties, you will find yourself joining the permanent staff on shift, attending to resident’s requirements, keeping records and encouraging and helping them to join in with communal activities whilst ensuring their health and wellbeing is always kept central to practice. You may be required to assist with personal care and, at times, behaviour that challenges, but due to your experience, you’ll understand what excellent and dignified care looks like.

We will ensure you get the best training package for your role, and you will have your own supportive consultant, as well as out-of-hours contact to make sure you are as well supported as your residents!
