Known for its warm community feel, the home offers an environment where new colleagues are welcomed, supported and encouraged to bring their whole selves to work.

For this role, we are currently considering candidates who live within approximately 15 miles of the Care Home.

MHA are fully committed to the principles of equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) as this is embedded in our values: respect, nurture and inspire. In addition, as a committed employer we have been awarded level 2 under the Disability Confident Scheme.

Requirements

  • Respect and sensitivity for older people
  • A willingness to be trained and developed (Level 1 or 2 in social care is encouraged)
  • Good communication and listening skills
  • The ability to work both independently and as part of a team
  • A caring nature with patience and empathy
  • Previous care experience is desirable, though not essential
  • Work flexibly across a rota, including weekends.
