ABOUT THE ROLE

A £500 Golden Hello* is just one of the ways we'll reward you when you join Barchester's Kernow House as a Care Assistant.

Kernow House is part of our complex-care division, offering support to 84 residents with Huntington's Disease and advanced dementia. As one of only 4 nationally recognised care centres for Huntington's Disease, the home offers excellent learning and progression opportunities for Care Assistants. Residents range in age from 30-80, so there is plenty of diversity in this role. You will support residents with physical and mental health needs, and will be trained in new techniques. We are looking for a Care Assistant who is passionate about promoting a high quality of care and ensuring that residents are treated with dignity and respect.

ABOUT YOU

You'll need to have empathy, a can-do approach and excellent communication skills to join us as a Care Assistant. If you have that, then you don't need any specific care experience as we'll provide the ongoing specialist training you need to thrive. Above all, you'll have real compassion for all our residents in order to deliver the highest standard of care and support.

REWARDS PACKAGE

As well as a competitive salary, Barchester offers one of the best rewards packages in the care sector. Your generous benefits would include:

  • A £500 Golden Hello*
  • Free learning and development
  • Automatic enrolment into our profit share scheme
  • A range of holiday, retail and leisure discounts
  • Unlimited access to our Refer a Friend bonus schemes

If you'd like to use your people skills in an organisation that provides the quality care you'd expect for your loved ones, this is a rewarding place to be
