Care Assistant

United Kingdom Avery Healthcare Group Ltd. £13.15 to £14.15 an hour*
Job Description

The Care Assistant supports residents with personal care, washing, dressing, mobility, meals, medication prompts and daily activities while promoting dignity, independence and choice. The role requires compassion, patience, reliability and a respectful approach to older people, including those living with dementia or complex needs. Candidates should communicate effectively, work well within a care team, follow care plans and safeguarding procedures, and maintain accurate records. Previous care experience is helpful but not always essential, as training may be provided. A willingness to work shifts, including weekends and nights, is expected. Enhanced background checks and the legal right to work in the United Kingdom are normally required.

Destination Guide

The United Kingdom offers extensive opportunities in adult social care, healthcare, hospitality, logistics, construction, technology and professional services. Its culture is diverse, generally polite and community-oriented, with strong traditions in music, sport, history and local festivals. Lifestyle varies from busy cities such as London, Manchester and Edinburgh to quieter coastal and rural communities. Living costs are highest in London and the southeast, while transport, housing and public services differ by region. Overseas workers usually need a valid visa and employer sponsorship where required; care-worker immigration rules and eligible occupations can change, so applicants should check current UK government guidance before accepting an offer. A passport, proof of qualifications, references, background checks and English-language evidence may be needed. Relocating also requires planning for accommodation, National Insurance, banking, healthcare registration and commuting. The UK has a temperate climate, with cool winters and changeable weather year-round.
