A first-class care provider is now looking for an experienced Carer / HCA to join them as a Senior Healthcare Assistant either in Uckfield or Battle, supporting premium residential and respite care for older adults in the historic East Sussex countryside.

The group is highly praised for its high-quality, person-centred care for people who require some extra support to live well (whether for age-related, mental health, or physical health needs); purpose-building or lovingly refurbishing their centres to create contemporary homes that accommodate each resident’s own needs and preferences.

As a Senior Healthcare Assistant with your preferred home, you will use your fine-tuned skills to provide individualised care and companionship, helping with more advanced clinical areas (such as medication and assessments) and overseeing more junior members to foster a homey and supportive environment for the residents.

Yours would ideally be a permanent, full-time role (33h, days only), however part-time can also be considered. All shifts follow a 12-hour pattern.

The homes fall under one of the UK’s Top 20 Care Home Groups in 2023 and can therefore offer you a fantastic package for a truly rewarding career in care, including further specialist training, opportunities to gain new qualifications, and bespoke support to progress up the ladder.

Depending on location*, a sign-on bonus may also be available as an extra-warm welcome to the team! Please get in touch for more information.
