ABOUT THE ROLE

Our Extra Care Housing schemes, also known as assisted living, are made up of self-contained one or two-bedroom apartments, all carefully designed and built to help clients live as independently as they can.

With their own front door, clients can come and go as they please, socialize with neighbors in the communal areas or enjoy their own company in privacy.

Within each housing scheme our care teams are on hand round the clock to support our clients with daily tasks and activities; this is known as domiciliary care.

Our Domiciliary Care Assistants make a real difference to our clients every day; whether it's supporting them with their daily routines or personal care, providing companionship or supporting with light household duties, you'll play a vital role in ensuring they are leading happy and fulfilled lives.

No two days will be the same, but all of our clients live in the same building, so you won't need to travel between different locations.

In joining us, you'll also become part of our extended family.

You'll work alongside other team members who are passionate about providing care, warmth and kindness to all those who live and work in our schemes.

If you've worked in retail, hospitality or within the warehouse industry then this could be suitable for you.

Shotover View is an 55 apartments Extra Care Housing scheme situated in Oxford. We're rated GOOD by the Care Quality Commission.

AND IN RETURN

The Trust is a great place to work; we've been providing care for almost 1,000 years and we're currently the second largest not-for-profit provider in the UK.

Not-for-profit means that we reinvest every penny we make into our residents, clients, colleagues and the care homes and schemes we live and work in.

We keep our colleagues safe with plenty of PPE, offer a great range of benefits, including a competitive salary, and invest in training and development.

Here are some of the other benefits you'll enjoy as a valued member of our team:

28 days holiday (including Bank Holidays)
Higher rates of pay at weekends
Workplace pension
Company sick pay (after probation)
Life assurance
Comprehensive induction, ongoing training and development

Refer a Friend scheme rewarding you up to £1000 for every recommendation you make who successfully starts working for us
Access to our Employee Assistance programme
Care Worker Charity membership for well being and financial aid
Blue Light Card and "My Rewards" programme, offering you discounts on shopping, days out, restaurants and much more

ABOUT YOU

If you've worked in domiciliary care before, then that's great as you'll have a good idea of what to expect.

But if this profession is new to you, then don't worry - we'll provide all the training you need to start your care journey with us.

It would be great if you hold or are working towards a Health and Social Care qualification.

However, what's more important to us is that you're good at communicating with people, you're compassionate with a can-do approach, you enjoy working as part of a team, are keen to learn and will want to excel at your job every day.
