We are looking for someone who understands it’s the little things that can make the biggest difference – making a difference together is at the heart of what we do.
Our Care Assistants support our customers with all aspects of their day-to-day living, including personal care.

You will enable our customers to maintain their dignity and independence and lead fulfilling lives. You will be warm and friendly and have a natural caring nature, great sense of humour and a positive energy that brings a smile to people’s faces.

• Do you want to feel that you are doing more than just a job?
• Are you someone who has cared for a loved one or friend and feel that you have more to give?
• Do you love being on the go, love a bit of variety and would like to help people who have changing needs to remain as independent as possible in their own homes?

All our customers ask of you is that you have the time to listen, you respect them, and you are understanding and patient.
This is not only a chance to make a difference to other people’s lives, but also your own. We offer a real family feel here at Orwell and caring about each other is what really matter.

About you:
• you have a positive energy that brings smiles to people’s faces
• you are a great listener with a caring and supportive attitude
• you want to make a difference every day
• you focus on the individual and not the routine
