A caring role in a place that feels like homeAt Chirk Court, we provide residential care for older people, including those living with dementia.
This is a true care home environment-focused on dignity, routine, and creating a place where residents feel safe, comfortable and valued every day.
You'll be working in a small household of 10 residents, giving you the time to build relationships and provide care that feels personal-not rushed.
If you take pride in doing care properly, and treating people with patience and respect, you'll feel at home here.
What your day might look like- Supporting residents with personal care in a dignified and respectful way
- Administering medication safely
- Spending time with residents-talking, listening, noticing changes
- Helping create a calm, homely environment
- Leading and supporting care staff on shift
- Supporting with rota planning to keep things running smoothly
You'll also have the support of other senior staff across the home-you're not expected to manage things alone.
What matters mostWe're looking for someone who:
- Is genuinely caring and patient
- Is confident taking the lead when needed
- Understands the importance of dignity in care
- Can support residents living with dementia
You'll need one of the following (or be willing to work towards it with our support):
- Level 2 or 3 in Health & Social Care (NVQ/QCF/Diploma)
- Registered Mental Health Nurse
- All Wales Induction Framework (or willingness to complete)
We'll support you to continue your development, including completing your Level 3 and maintaining Social Care Wales registration.
What you'll get in return- 25 days annual leave + bank holidays (rising to 30)
- Option to buy or sell leave
- Up to 8% pension contribution
- Free hot meals on shift
- Paid Social Care Wales registration
- Enhanced maternity package
- Blue Light discounts and high street savings
- Work for an organisation recognised for Mental Health & Wellbeing
Our sensory garden was recently recognised by His Majesty the King, something that reflects the calm, supportive environment we create for residents every day.
