Summary
Senior Care Assistant – More Than a Job, It’s a Calling
Harbour Healthcare
Location: Bishop Auckland DL14 6XX
Pay: £13.40 per hour
Hours: 38.5
Must have NVQ Level 3 or working towards it.
We are not offering Sponsorship.
Are you the kind of person who remembers how someone takes their tea?
Do you believe a 5-minute chat can brighten someone’s whole day?
Can you bring compassion, reliability, and maybe a great playlist?
If you said YES… we want to meet you.
⚕️ What You’ll Be Doing
No two days are the same — and that’s the beauty of it.
You’ll be:
✨ Supporting people with daily routines
✨ Helping with personal care (with dignity and respect)
✨ Preparing meals and sharing meaningful moments
✨ Providing companionship and emotional support
✨ Being the reason someone smiles today
This isn’t just care work. It’s life-changing work.
What We’re Looking For
You don’t need years of experience — you need the right heart.
We’d love you to have:
✔️ Kindness that can’t be taught
✔️ Reliability and a strong sense of responsibility
✔️ Good communication skills
✔️ A willingness to learn (full training provided!)
✔️ A driving licence (if required for community role)
Care experience is great — but not essential. We hire for attitude and train for skill.
What You’ll Get
Because caring for others means we care for you too.
Competitive pay + enhanced weekend rates
Full paid training & development opportunities
Career progression pathways
Supportive, friendly team culture
Staff recognition, rewards & appreciation events
Flexible shifts that fit around your life
Why Work in Care in 2026?
In a world full of screens and automation, real human connection matters more than ever. Care assistants are everyday heroes — and the demand for compassionate professionals continues to grow.
This is a career with purpose, stability, and heart.
Harbour Healthcare have won many accolades and awards over the years from carehome.co.uk Top 20 Awards, now for the 5th year running as well as Disability Confident Committed.
