Avery Healthcare in Stamford (PE9) is looking for warm, reliable Care Assistants to work on a permanent basis, with one full-time role (39 hours) and a part-time role (22 hours) available. Pay is £12.27 per hour. Each day you’ll support residents with personal care and hygiene, promote independence and dignity, and work closely with the team to maintain continuity of care. You will be expected to recognise and escalate clinical risks such as weight loss, pressure sores, falls and signs of infection, practise safe systems of work and act courteously towards residents and visitors.
