At The Old Rectory, we take pride in providing exceptional, person-centred care in a warm and supportive environment. We are currently seeking dedicated and compassionate Care Assistants to join our friendly team and help make a meaningful difference in the lives of our residents.
This is a rewarding opportunity to work within a close-knit, professional team, supporting older adults in nursing, respite, and rehabilitation care.

We are looking for individuals who are:

• Kind, patient, and genuinely committed to improving residents’ quality of life.
• Reliable and flexible, with a strong team ethic.
• Able to follow clear instructions and use their initiative when appropriate.
• Respectful of confidentiality, professional standards, and individual choice.
• Willing to undertake all mandatory training and ongoing development.

As a Care Assistant, you will play a vital role in promoting the wellbeing, dignity, and independence of our residents. You will provide respectful, high-quality support across care, housekeeping, and dining services, ensuring that every resident feels valued, comfortable, and at home.

Your duties will include:

• Assisting residents during mealtimes and supporting dietary needs.
• Encouraging participation in daily routines, social activities, and events.
• Supporting residents with personal needs respectfully, maintaining dignity at all times.
• Helping to keep the home clean, tidy, and compliant with infection control standards.
