About Oaklands Rest Home

Oaklands Rest Home is a family-run care home based on the edge of the New Forest. We are one of the region's leading care homes — national award winners for four consecutive years, including the Caring UK Awards, Dementia Care Awards and Social Care Stars.

We support residents with residential, dementia, respite and reablement care. Our vision is simple: Our Specialty is You. That means we get to know every resident as an individual — their history, their preferences, their humour, their routines — and we build care around those details.

We use the latest care technology, run a rich activities programme, and invest seriously in our team. Many of our staff have been with us for years, and we are proud to have supported people to progress from Care Assistant all the way to Deputy Manager.

Role at a Glance

Job Title

Care Assistant

Location

Marchwood, New Forest, Hampshire (free parking on site)

Hours

Full time and part time positions available

Reports To

Senior Care Assistant and Registered Manager

DBS Check

Required — funded by Oaklands

The Role

This is a care role where the small details matter as much as the big ones. You will support residents with their personal care, daily routines, meals, mobility, emotional wellbeing and social interaction. You will also notice and report changes in a resident's health, mood or behaviour so the team can respond quickly.

Many of our residents are living with dementia. That means patience is not optional — it is the job. You will learn to read behaviour as communication, respond calmly to distress and confusion, and build the kind of trust that takes time and consistency.

This role is not about completing a task list. It is about helping Oaklands feel like home.

What You Will Do

Person-Centred Care

Support residents with personal care in a respectful, dignified way
Follow individual care plans and adapt your approach to each person
Encourage independence and take time to understand each resident's preferences, life history and routines
Support residents with physical, emotional, social and spiritual wellbeing
Help residents feel safe, unhurried and valued

Dementia Care

Support residents living with dementia with patience, reassurance and compassion
Recognise that behaviour is often communication
Respond calmly to distress, confusion or changes in presentation
Maintain routines and familiar approaches that support residents' wellbeing

Health, Safety and Reporting

Report changes in health, mood, appetite, mobility or behaviour promptly
Answer call bells quickly and respectfully
Support residents safely with moving and handling, using equipment correctly
Follow safeguarding, infection control and health and safety procedures

Records and Communication

Complete care records accurately and on time using our digital care system
Share important information at handover
Communicate with respect — with residents, families, visitors and colleagues
Raise concerns early rather than waiting

What We Are Looking For

No formal qualifications are required to apply. What matters most is the right attitude and approach.

Essential

Genuine kindness and patience with older people
Willing to follow care plans and safe working practices
Reliable and consistent — your colleagues depend on you
Honest — speaks up when something is not right
Good communication skills, written and spoken
Comfortable using digital systems for records
Comfortable supporting residents with personal care
Basic English reading and writing to complete records accurately
Calm under pressure and resilient
Committed to safeguarding and the wellbeing of residents

Desirable (not essential)

Experience in a care home or health/social care setting
Moving and handling or first aid training
Experience supporting people living with dementia
Experience using digital care planning systems
Care Certificate or NVQ Level 2 in Health and Social Care

This Role Is Not Right for Everyone

We would rather be honest now than waste your time or ours. Please do not apply if you:

Are uncomfortable supporting residents with personal care
Become easily frustrated by repetition, confusion or distress
Struggle to treat older people with patience, dignity and respect
Have a pattern of unreliable attendance or poor timekeeping
Are unwilling to complete care records or use digital systems
See care work as a temporary job rather than a responsibility to vulnerable people

What We Offer

We invest in our people. Here is what you will receive as part of the Oaklands team:

Competitive pay with annual pay reviews
Salary enhancement on qualification achievement
28 days holiday (pro rata for part time)
Paid online learning time
Enhanced bank holiday rates
Pension contributions
Length of service holiday bonus
Refer a friend bonus scheme
Free uniform
Cycle to work scheme
Free parking on site
Annual Staff Awards Programme
Free DBS check
Genuine career progression pathway
Funded training and NVQ qualifications
Study support for further qualifications

What Good Looks Like in This Role

Residents feel safe, known, respected and unhurried
Care is delivered with dignity, kindness and attention to personal preference
Changes in residents' wellbeing are noticed and reported promptly
Records are accurate, timely and meaningful
Colleagues can rely on you to do what you say you will do
Families and visitors experience warmth, professionalism and trust
You ask for help when unsure rather than guessing
You treat dementia-related distress as communication, not inconvenience
You contribute to a calm, supportive and values-led culture

Our Values

Our core values were developed with our entire team and underpin everything we do at Oaklands. They are not words on a wall — they shape how we care for residents and how we treat each other.

Caring
Collaborative
Respectful
Honest
Person-Centred
Reliable
Informative
Open
Innovative
Trusted

Training and Development

Every member of the Oaklands team receives a structured induction and ongoing training and development throughout their time with us. We fund nationally recognised qualifications and actively support progression — many of our senior team members started as Care Assistants.

Bespoke nationally recognised induction programme
Mandatory and role-specific training included
Study support and funding for NVQ / Diploma in Health and Social Care
Salary enhancement on qualification achievement
Paid online learning time
Supervision and appraisal to support your development
Real progression pathway from Care Assistant to Senior, to Deputy Manager

How to Apply

If what you have read sounds like you, we would love to hear from you. Apply via this listing, or if you have questions about the role contact the team directly.

Oaklands Rest Home is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of residents. All appointments are subject to an enhanced DBS check, satisfactory references and right to work in the UK verification.
