• Helping with light housekeeping tasks and following health and safety guidelines.
• Keeping accurate logs, reporting condition updates, and noting any incidents to senior staff.

What we need from you:
• Previous experience working as a Care Assistant (experience with Dementia care is a big plus).
• A dedicated, reliable nature and a genuine pride in making a difference to the lives of others.
• An enhanced DBS check (or we can help you get one sorted quickly).

Why you’ll love it:
• Fast-track starts: Get compliant and out to work quickly with immediate shift availability.
• Total control: Choose the exact days, nights, or weekend shifts that fit your current lifestyle.
• Weekly pay: Money in your account every week, no long waits.
