Regional Care Assistant - Bank
Barchester Healthcare
The closing date is 31 May 2025
Job summary
As a Bank Regional Care Assistant with Barchester care homes, you'll deliver warm, empathetic and respectful care and support across a 20-mile radius to help our residents get the most out of life. It's a very varied role that will see you provide cover as and when we need it. You'll monitor the delivery of care, contribute to the person-centred care planning process, and record observations on things like temperature and blood pressure. The role also involves providing support and companionship to ensure every resident enjoys meaningful one-to-one time with our carers.
Main duties of the job
A background in care is important for the role of Bank Regional Care Assistant, and you'll need a good understanding of elderly care. A Level 2 NVQ in Health and Social Care would be useful, as would a good understanding of the wider healthcare industry. Ideally, you'll also have a C or above in GCSE English and Maths. Dedicated and compassionate, your passion for people means you'll go above and beyond to support the wellbeing of residents. Flexibility is important and, because you'll be travelling across the area, you'll either need your own car or ready access to one. We'll cover your mileage when you travel over five miles from your main home, and if you're on duty at the time of an inspection and we achieve a 'Good' rating, you'll qualify for a bonus.
