Job description

Care Assistant

Location: Lewin House, Aylesbury, 61 Belgrave Road, Aylesbury, HP19 9HP,

Pay rate: £12.95

Contracted Hours: 10

We offer various shifts and hours so get in touch and we can help you find the job you want!

Lewin House is a modern and spacious care home with 70 individual rooms positioned across four wings and plenty of other facilities. Our nursing home in Aylesbury was designed for the effective delivery of nursing care, with a specialist nursing unit located in each wing. There is plenty of communal and outdoor space, so everyone can get involved in the varied and stimulating programme of activities on offer. To make our residents feel at home, personal items can be brought along and added to individual rooms.

We are looking for you to work as a care assistant making a real difference to our residents lives every day. Along with supporting daily routines and personal care (washing, bathing, supporting toilet use) we are looking for the right people to genuinely care for our residents and create a happy fulfilled life for them. Some days may be challenging but you will laugh, have fun and make lasting memories. You’ll become part of our extended family too, bringing kindness, exceptional care and dignity to our care homes.

We are looking for both experienced carers and those that are new to care to build our teams with diverse people who can bring all sorts of life experience to the job. We provide induction training and support, with ongoing development opportunities for you to really build a career with us. You will be a great communicator and able to build relationships and positive working and living environments. We’d love you to love your job.
