Senior Care Assistant

Based in Mount Vernon and recently modernised to give every comfort, Ashton Grange is a wonderful place to call home. We form strong links with our local communities to ensure all residents have their needs met with minibus services to local events, along with facilities such as digital TV subscriptions, daily newspapers, hairdressers, podiatrists, on site laundry services and access to communication devices to stay in touch with loved ones. Personal dietary needs are treated with the upmost importance to ensure a safe and comfortable stay.

Due to restrictions on the number of certificates we can issue at present, candidates without an existing visa or right to work in the UK are unlikely to be suitable for the advertised post.

As a Senior Care Assistant, you will play a pivotal role in providing high-quality care and support to our residents, ensuring their physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. Your experience and leadership skills will be essential in supervising and mentoring care assistants to maintain the highest standard of care.
