Summary
We’re not just hiring a Care Assistant, we’re looking for someone who instinctively knows how to bring calm to chaos, warmth to silence, and humour to hard days. Someone who sees that real care isn’t about time sheets or ticking boxes - it’s about connection.
What you’ll be doing:
Supporting our residents with dignity, respect, and heart – whether that’s helping with daily routines such as personal care, supporting emotional well-being, and encouraging social activities that bring joy and companionship, or being there in the quiet moments.
Bringing your unique personality into the home and helping create a space where joy lives in the small things.
Getting to know each resident, their needs, and what matters most to them, delivering care that’s tailored to their preferences.
Ensure care plans are up to date, documenting important information to help provide the best care possible.
This job isn't for everyone. But it might be for you if:
You believe dignity lives in the small things - brushing hair, providing a clean, safe environment, remembering names.
You want to be part of a team where kindness is the culture, not just a buzzword.
You’re a good listener, a reliable presence, and someone who understands that care is just as much about empathy as it is about action.
You’re the kind of person who treats everyone with warmth.
We don’t need you to have loads of experience. We need you to care - deeply, honestly, and without pretence.
What we offer:
A team that sees and values you.
Real opportunities for growth and development if you want them – we’ll help you build your skills and confidence.
A supportive, values-led team who celebrate each other’s wins – big and small.
Free DBS check
The use of ‘Flex Earn’ enabling you to access wages earnt in advance of pay day, viewing earnt wages in real time.
Free meals provided when working long shifts
Access to Peninsula Care Homes Mental Health First Aider; an external Confidential Care helpline for you and your family members; Peninsula Care Home’s ‘Whycare?’ app and Refer a Friend scheme
The joy of being part of someone’s final chapter - and making sure it’s filled with comfort, respect, and love.
This is more than a job. It’s a place where your kindness becomes someone’s lifeline.
If you’re someone who wants to go home at the end of the day knowing you made someone smile, someone feel safe, someone feel seen – we’d love to meet you.
