Senior Carer (Nights) Full Time £14\.51 \- £15\.11 (until Med's Trained) / £15\.11 \- £15\.72 (Meds Trained)

Hours: Full Time with alternate weekends.

We are looking for someone who has a passion for supporting older people in a residential setting and for people living with dementia on our special care unit. Do you have a passion for supporting older people to continue to build and develop new relationships, support them to make friends, begin a new adventure, and help them to do something they have always wanted to do or try and to make sure that life is to go on, not stop, to make people laugh and to help them to make choices and do things they want to do, not what we want them to do.

Are you willing to work towards your ‘medication training’?

Are you kind? Are you caring? Do you like people?

Do you believe we should treat people in the way we want to be treated?

Do you have hopes and dreams? Are you hard working?

Can you be relied upon? Have you got stamina and determination?

Can you find the positive in every situation? Are you calm and patient?

Do you have a creative mind and ability to motivate others with your enthusiasm?

Do you go the extra mile? Are you a team player?

Do you love working and have a passion for working with the older generation? Do you want the opportunity for training and progression?

If you can answer yes to all of the above, we will be interested to hear from you!

What will you get in return?

You’ll be working for a not for profit care provider. A great advantage of being a charitable organisation is that we can offer competitive pay, generous benefits and training to reward you for taking such good care of our residents.

So if you would like to be a part of the Heron House family, please apply now, we would love to hear from you!
