Care Assistant

Wicked Care Consultancy are supporting care and nursing homes across the Southwest by introducing them to individuals who have, or haven’t, worked in care before – it doesn’t matter what previous roles you’ve have previously or how much care experience you have, what does matter is that you are caring, compassionate & kind.

We support numerous care and nursing homes across Devon and Somerset and have vacancies available for an immediate start with an hourly rate of £10 – £15, depending on the provider and experience.

A typical care assistant role is so varied and one day is never the same, however just some of the support you’ll be giving to individuals in the homes will be personal care such as washing, dressing, eating, assistant with days out in the local community, helping at mealtimes and assisting with activities – and of course, being a companion.  Making sure the individuals physical and emotional needs are being met.

We don’t ask for you to have previous experience or qualifications in care as comprehensive training is provided, what we do require is individuals to be emotionally intelligent, respectful, friendly, and reliable.  If you have these personal qualities and have a willingness to learn then you are perfect for our “wicked” team.

“Wicked” is another word for very or extremely, it can mean “of exceptional quality”, and as evidenced in the Urban Dictionary, it is defined as wonderful, great, splendid, excellent – all qualities we look for in a Wicked Care team member.
