Senior Healthcare Assistant Days Exceptional Country House Setting AV1880A

Full Time 37.5 Hours per Week
Location: Winchester
Pay: £13.15 - £14.30 per hour (paid breaks included)

Looking for a Role Where You re Truly Valued?

Imagine working in a beautiful country house setting, surrounded by gardens, where quality care isn t just a service it s a shared mindset.

We are recruiting for a Senior Healthcare Assistant (Days) to join an exceptional, stand-alone nursing and residential care home on the outskirts of Winchester, Hampshire. With the relaxed ambience of a country house hotel and the close-knit feel that only an independent home can offer, this is a service where your voice is heard and your contribution genuinely matters.

Here, quality care isn t just what the team does it s how they think, act, and lead every day.

Why This Role Stands Out

This is more than a standard senior care role. You will:

  • Be a key senior presence in a stand-alone, independently operated home
  • Work closely with management who are visible and approachable
  • Lead and support care staff with confidence and compassion
  • Deliver truly person-centred care in a calm, well-resourced environment
  • Build meaningful relationships with residents and their families

Without the structure of a large corporate group, decisions are made locally, communication is open, and good ideas are welcomed.

About the Home

This purpose-built care home provides both residential and nursing care for older people in a setting designed for comfort, dignity and wellbeing.

Residents enjoy:

  • Spacious en-suite bedrooms (with walk-in showers in selected rooms)
  • Freshly prepared meals using quality ingredients
  • A varied activities programme including guest speakers, musicians, quizzes and PAT dog visits
  • On-site laundry service 7 days a week
  • Hair salon, quiet lounge, small library and bright conservatory

The culture is professional, caring and family-orientated with a team known for consistently going above and beyond for residents and one another.

Your Key Responsibilities
  • Lead and guide the care team during day shifts
  • Deliver high-quality, person-centred care
  • Administer medication (training provided if required)
  • Maintain accurate care documentation
  • Ensure residents safety, comfort and wellbeing
  • Provide emotional support and reassurance
  • Act as the senior member of staff on duty
  • NVQ Level 3 in Health & Social Care (or equivalent)
  • Previous experience in a senior care role
  • Medication training (desirable)
  • Confident leadership skills
  • A calm, positive and professional approach
  • A genuine passion for supporting older people
  • £13.15 - £14.30 per hour
  • Paid breaks
  • 37.5-hour full-time contract (Days)
  • Free on-site parking
  • Supportive, stable and close-knit working environment
  • Beautiful country house surroundings
  • The opportunity to make a real impact every single shift
