Summary
We are seeking experienced Care Assistants for weekend shifts at a modern, 60-bed care home in Aylestone, Leicester. With excellent facilities and strong public transport links, this is a fantastic opportunity to make a real difference in a supportive environment.

You will also help maintain a clean, safe environment while following individualised care plans to ensure each resident receives the support they need.

If you do not currently have a valid DBS or up-to-date training, don’t worry—we can help. We offer online training at a subsidised fee, and the certificates are yours to keep.
