Most care jobs feel like you're just getting through the shift. This one is different: you'll walk into a home where 70 residents depend on you to make their day better, and where the team actually invests in your growth. If you've got compassion and want to do work that genuinely matters, this is the place
Picture yourself arriving at a 70-bed home buzzing with life. You're not a number here; you're part of a team that believes in person-centred care, where every resident gets a care plan built around what makes them tick. You'll help someone get washed and dressed with real dignity, support them at mealtimes, help them move safely around the home. These aren't tasks you clock off from. They're moments where you're actually changing someone's day
The home sits near Wantage Shopping Centre, and you'll join staff who regularly take residents out on proper outings. That matters: it means the residents aren't stuck inside, and neither are you. Your work has air and sunshine and purpose in it. You're not just delivering care; you're enabling a life
Training and self-development aren't words on a poster here. The team actively builds people up. There's an Employee of the Month scheme that recognises real effort. Long service awards mean loyalty counts. You get a Blue Light Card. Refer a friend and you both win. This is a workplace that says, 'We're keeping you.'
What you will be doing
- Help residents with personal care: washing, dressing and everything that goes with dignity and respect
- Support residents at mealtimes, assisting with eating and drinking at their pace
- Complete daily care plans that record what you've seen and done, so the whole team knows what's happening
- Assist with mobility, moving residents safely and confidently around the home
Why you will love working here
- £13.32 per hour for work that actually feels like it counts
- Real training and professional development to build skills that stick with you
- Employee of the Month recognition, Long Service Awards and a Blue Light Card
- Refer a Friend scheme: bring someone brilliant in and both of you win
Is this you?
- You don't need experience, but you do need to genuinely care about people and show real compassion for residents' individual needs
- You're responsive: when someone needs help, you notice and you act
- You buy into person-centred care, which means seeing the resident first and the task second
- You want to be part of a team that encourages your growth and training
