Care Assistant

Our Health Care Assistants support people to live their best lives, whatever that looks like to them.

No two days will ever be the same, but your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

supporting people with their personal care
assisting people at meal times
understanding individual health and wellbeing needs
encouraging and supporting people to take part in social activities, both in and out of the home
promoting choice, dignity, independence and respect
completing and maintaining care records.
We have higher-than-average staffing levels when compared to other care providers, giving you more time to spend with the people you support.

We value relevant experience and qualifications, but they aren't essential for this role.

Above all, you're someone who identifies with our Exemplar Health Care values of fun, integrity, responsiveness, success and teamwork.

You're also:

caring, kind, understanding and calm
able to deal with, and defuse, challenging situations
energetic and outgoing, with a positive, can-do attitude
a great listener and communicator.
You'll put people at the heart of everything you do.

Are you a caring, compassionate and cheerful person with lots to give? Join us as our new Health Care Assistant at Lepton Heights care home in Huddersfield.

As a Health Care Assistant, you'll support adults living with complex care needs to live their best lives.

Lepton Heights care home is set to open in 2025, offering you a unique opportunity to be part of a brand-new team in a state-of-the-art, purpose-built home. This is your chance to truly make an impact!

And you can be proud to work for one of the country's leading providers. The number of our homes rated 'Good' and 'Outstanding' far exceeds the national average.

About Exemplar Health Care
Lepton Heights is part of Exemplar Health Care, one of the country's leading nursing care providers.

When open, Lepton Heights will support adults living with acquired brain injuries, complex mental health needs, dementia and physical disabilities.

Although the home is set to open in January 2025, you'll begin a tailored induction one month prior.

This will give you the opportunity to learn about the company, meet your colleagues and complete your training, so you're fully prepared when the home officially opens.

In the meantime, we'll stay in touch via email or WhatsApp, sharing regular updates on the progress of your new workplace.

As well as stable and secure employment opportunities, we offer great benefits and perks, and plenty of opportunities to learn, develop and progress.

If you haven't worked in the care sector before, we'll help you feel right at home from the start with our induction, buddy and ongoing training programmes.
