Joining our team as a Care Assistant, you’ll help residents enjoy each day by making sure they get the quality care and support they deserve in a warm, welcoming, and luxury care environment. You’ll assist with daily living, providing support and companionship – and sharing great moments and memories too. It’s a chance to bring your dedication and compassion to a fulfilling environment. Every day will be different, so you can expect to undertake work that’s as varied as it is rewarding.
The type of support that you would be providing is no different to what would reasonably be given by a member of the person’s family.

What we are looking for
- You'll need to have a naturally caring and kind nature.
- Have excellent communication and time management skills.
- Patience and empathy when dealing with challenging situations.
- The ability to work well on your own or as part of a team.
Ideally you will have an SVQ level 2 or above/equivalent in Health and Social Care, but don’t worry if you don’t, we will fully fund and support you to achieve this.
What’s in it for you?
This is a unique opportunity to join Pitfodels Wood and be part of an exciting new chapter, helping to shape an exceptional care home where outstanding care and extraordinary living come together.
We know that exceptional care starts with exceptional colleagues who are at the heart of everything we do. That's why we offer a range of benefits to support your wellbeing, celebrate your achievements and help you build a rewarding career with us.
