Care Assistants

Working a part of the Care Team at Compton Lodge Care Home in Swiss Cottage, Camden. Our Care Assistants work three shifts of 12 hours and 20 minutes each, equating to 37 hours per week. We do also have Casual Hour Contracts available. You will work alongside an amazing team that care passionately about our residents. We work hard to keep our residents engaged, active and enjoying their lives. Whether you would like to support our residents directly with their physical care and personal hygiene needs or instead help us in maintaining high levels of cleanliness across our homes, you can make a real contribution. Additional shifts over full time hours are generally available for which we offer an enhanced rate of pay. We also offer double time for all bank holidays. We can be flexible to accommodate other lengths of shift, for example covering our busiest times.
