Join Our Team at Autumn Lodge – Make a Difference Every Day
Are you enthusiastic, caring and passionate about supporting older people, especially those living with dementia? If so, we’d love to hear from you!
We’re looking for compassionate individuals to join our team as Care Assistants. While previous care experience is preferred, it’s not essential. You’ll be someone who enjoys spending time with older people and working closely with your teammates to provide the best care possible.
We offer premium pay rates for those with adult care qualifications (e.g. NVQ), and opportunities for career progression.
As a permanent member of the care team, we ask that you can work one nightshift per week and we can offer alternate weekend working patterns.
