At 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.

• 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.

We'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.

• 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.
