Care Assistant

This is not just a career in care, this is a career in Bluebird Care!

Bluebird Care Pontypridd have ambitious growth plans and are looking for compassionate, empathetic and caring people to join our team in making a genuine difference in the lives of others.

This position involves driving from house to house delivering care to our customers.

All we ask is that our Care Assistants have:

• Full UK driving licence and access to your own reliable car/vehicle
• Right to work in the UK
• A commitment to working alternate weekends

It would be preferable if you have previous experience within healthcare, although not essential as full training is provided.

We can’t care for our customers if we don’t take care of our team so to make this possible, we offer:

• Full-Time and Part-Time hours
• Mileage allowance
• 28 days holiday pro rata
• Fully paid Induction training
• Ongoing training and support
• Flexible working
• Pension scheme
• Smartphone technology so you can do everything at the tap of a finger
• Free uniform & PPE
• Opportunity to have monthly meetings with a wellbeing coach
• Refer a friend scheme
• Blue Light Card membership – This means you’ll get discounts from many high street stores.

Our work isn't just about providing physical support, many of our service users live alone as an alternative to a residential care home and rely on seeing a friendly face each day to support their emotional wellbeing. A smile, kind word or someone to talk to can make a massive difference to their day.

Roles and responsibilities include:

• Supporting with personal care
• Prompting and administering medication
• Food preparation, domestic duties, and shopping
• Manual handling / using equipment where required

We want Care Assistants who recognise the importance of a positive attitude, great communication and how the work they do has a wider impact on the business and the community.

Is this you? If so join us and be paid for being exactly who you are.
