Description
The Relief Care Assistant will play an important role within Jewish Care's Care team, providing compassionate, person-centred support to residents and helping them feel safe, respected and valued.
Working on a relief basis, this casual role offers flexibility to cover staff absence and service needs, with 12-hour day shifts from 8am to 8pm, including some weekends.
Responsibilities include:
- Supporting residents with personal care and daily routines
- Providing companionship and emotional support
- Encouraging independence, choice, and dignity
- Assisting with meals, activities, and wellbeing
- Working as part of a supportive team to deliver outstanding care

You will build meaningful relationships and provide the practical and emotional support people need, including personal care, daily routines, mealtimes, activities and companionship.

- Reliable and a strong team player
- Comfortable supporting people with a range of needs
- Willing to learn and develop
In return, you will get:
