Care Assistant 

Company Introduction

We’re Nouveau Care & we’ve been providing healthcare jobs since 2015. We provide domiciliary care on behalf of local authorities and the NHS as well as private clients & staffing for care homes. As a CQC-regulated care provider, we’ve been rated ‘Good’ since 2017. Our Care Assistants enjoy consistent hours and paid mileage.

Role Description

We’re looking for Care Assistants to care for our clients with compassion & diligence. Our care jobs are about supporting people in their own homes & other care settings. You’ll help people with daily tasks such as personal care, dressing, meal preparation, and medication.

We’ll give you full training but this is mostly instinctive – it’s about treating people the same as you would your own family members and ensuring their well-being and safety. You’ll be the first person to pick up on illnesses and other issues and we guarantee you’ll make a difference in somebody’s life from day one. You’ll often be one-to-one with our clients so this is a position of trust.
