A £500 'Golden Hello' Welcome Bonus is just one of the ways we'll reward you when you join Barchester in this role.
ABOUT THE ROLE
As a Care Home Assistant at a Barchester care home, you'll carry out a range of tasks that help us provide the quality care our residents deserve. No two days will be the same as you take on diverse responsibilities across care, housekeeping and catering. You'll get plenty of variety and will be able to develop a broad range of skills along the way. Whether you're cooking up meals, keeping our environment well-maintained or spending one-to-one time with our residents, you'll be delivering a warm and homely atmosphere where they always come first. If you find yourself drawn to one of the areas you work in, we'll make sure you have the opportunity to progress there full-time.
ABOUT YOU
As a Care Home Assistant you'll be a big presence in our home, so it's important that you have excellent communication and team working skills and a positive, can-do approach. You should be practical and willing to turn your hand to different tasks, ready to adapt to all sorts of different situations. You'll need some experience in care, housekeeping or catering, but we'll provide all the training you need to thrive with us.

In return for your dedication, you'll receive a competitive rate of pay plus our sector-leading benefits and rewards package including:
Free training and development for all roles
Access to wellbeing and support tools
A range of retail discounts and savings
Unlimited referrals with our Refer a Friend' bonus scheme

And so much more!
If you'd like to use your can-do approach and people skills in an organisation that provides the quality care and support you'd expect for your loved ones, this is a rewarding place to be.
