Senior Healthcare Assistant

Job Description:

Senior Healthcare Assistant – Days & Nights – AV1881

Full Time | 35 Hours per Week
Location: Risley, Sandiacre
Pay: £13.50 per hour (paid breaks included)

Join a Family-Owned Residential Setting Where You’re Truly Valued

We are recruiting on behalf of a warm, independently operated residential care service providing high-quality care for adults both under and over 65.

This well-established home supports up to 36 residents and offers permanent residential care, respite care and day care within a welcoming, homely environment. With a smaller resident group, the focus is always on delivering genuinely person-centred care where every individual is known, respected and valued.

We are now seeking an experienced Senior Healthcare Assistant to work a mixture of day and night shifts as part of a supportive and stable team.

About the Service

Registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the home prides itself on maintaining high standards of dignity, independence and wellbeing.

The setting offers:

• Comfortable bedrooms, including ground-floor rooms with private patios
• Peaceful garden spaces
• A varied, person-centred activities programme
• Permanent, respite and day care services
• A 5-Star Food Hygiene Rating, demonstrating excellent standards of cleanliness and food safety

The culture is professional, friendly and family-orientated, with a leadership team that is visible and approachable.

Why This Role Stands Out

As a Senior Healthcare Assistant, you will:

• Act as the senior member of staff on duty across day and night shifts
• Lead and support care staff with confidence and compassion
• Deliver high-quality, person-centred residential care
• Provide reassurance and clinical oversight during night shifts
• Build meaningful relationships with residents and families
• Promote dignity, choice and independence at all times

With a smaller home environment, you’ll be able to focus on relationship-led care rather than task-based routines.

Your Key Responsibilities

• Lead and guide the care team on shift
• Deliver safe, compassionate care tailored to individual needs
• Administer medication (training provided if required)
• Maintain accurate and compliant care documentation
• Monitor wellbeing and escalate concerns appropriately
• Ensure residents’ comfort and safety, particularly during night shifts
• Support compliance with CQC standards
• NVQ Level 3 in Health & Social Care (or equivalent)
• Previous experience in a senior care role
• Medication training (desirable but not essential)
• Confidence working both independently (nights) and as part of a team
• Strong leadership and communication skills
• A calm, professional and positive approach
• A genuine passion for supporting older people
• £13.50 per hour
• Paid breaks
• 35-hour full-time contract
• Mixture of day and night shifts
• Free on-site parking
• Stable, family-run working environment
• Supportive and experienced management team
• The opportunity to make a meaningful impact every shift
