Job Description

RCB Healthcare always look for the kindest and most resilient people to come and support our residents - no two days will be the same and you will receive the learning and development you need to thrive. We are looking for enthusiastic, committed, flexible staff whose focus is on providing the highest quality service at all times. Is that you?

Currently we have a vacancy to join our team for a Senior Healthcare Assistant at our home in Fareham, Hampshire to work 3 x 12 hour shifts per week on a rota basis which will include alternate weekend working, hourly rate is 12.70 (all breaks are unpaid).

In your role as Senior Healthcare Assistant at Red House Residential Care Home you will value one thing above all - Kindness. Every single person who works here understands that our Residents are people just like them with their own stories to tell. By joining RCB Healthcare you will have a wonderful opportunity to give something back to those people.

About You

As a Senior Healthcare Assistant you will be planning and implementing the kind of care that will give our residents a real sense of security, dignity and independence. You will get to know our residents and their families - helping to ensure we deliver truly personalised care plans. Leading a team of Care Assistants, you will be responsible for maintaining the highest standards of care and you will be a real influence on the rest of the team. Whether you are showing someone how to use a walking frame, helping someone at the end of their life to eat a meal or talking to a resident's family on the phone, you will do so with a sense of kindness, above anything else. Assisting the Care Manager, you will be involved in providing essential physical and mental stimulation through a range of social and recreational activities, as well as administering medication.

One of your key responsibilities as Senior Care Assistant is to maintain accurate records of the job you do and build strong relationships with the rest of your team.

Ideally, you will have an S/NVQ 2 or 3 Diploma in Health & Social Care, a background in person centred care planning and knowledge of caring for people with dementia. What's essential, though, is your brilliant positive energy and natural ability to get along with people. You'll know what good record keeping looks like and be able to manage your time effectively. And, whenever you communicate with a resident or co-worker, you will be truly considerate and kind.

We are passionate about ensuring that our current and future Colleagues can be their true selves, and that our workforce represents the communities we serve. We prioritise inclusive working practices and invite applicants from all backgrounds into our RCB Healthcare family and we are committed to providing the quickest possible turnaround from the point of making you a job offer to you starting with us on day one.
