About you
Help make every day brighter for the people who visit our Day Centre. As a Day Care Assistant, you’ll create a warm, welcoming place where older people can enjoy good company, try meaningful activities and feel valued for who they are. Through friendship, encouragement and practical support, you’ll help each person feel more confident, independent and connected.
We are looking for people with the ability to work alone but also as part of a team. You must have empathy for older people and an understanding of the behaviour of others, and also the contributory factors behind that behaviour. Good interpersonal skills and the ability to record accurately, both verbally and in writing, are essential, as are good levels of physical fitness in order to comply with manual handling instructions and to provide personal care to clients.
Working at a day centre is highly rewarding and we want our staff to enjoy their job. Experience of care work is not essential but you must be willing to undertake training within the job role to enhance your knowledge and skills. If you are flexible and adaptable, with the ability to work on your own initiative, we'd love to hear from you.
