Care Assistant

Full-time and part-time positions are available.

Nicolson Care, in Fort William, supports a wide range of care requirements, for example, long-term and intermediate residential care.

We are looking for a dedicated Care Assistant to work in a team caring for a 57-year-old man with A.B.I. (Acquired Brain Injury).

The Role

In your role as a member of the client's care team, you will be responsible for personal care, cleaning and general upkeep of the client's home, food preparation, assistance with physical therapy sessions every day, trips to the swimming pool, creating a fun and lively environment, and coming up with fun activities for the client.

It may be necessary to work occasional overnight shifts once the necessary experience has been gained. It is desirable to have experience in healthcare and a driver’s license.

Due to the lack of accommodation available in the area, this role would ideally suit candidates with local links to the area, who have accommodation in place, should you be successful.

About You

Working with the client in his home will require you to be a fun, patient, reliable, compassionate, and dedicated individual.

It is a challenging role that requires an individual who can work well within a close team of caregivers and family members.

We will provide you with excellent working conditions and competitive remuneration, personal pension and full holiday pay in return for your commitment.

Interested applicants should be dedicated, well-organised, and possess excellent communication skills. For consideration, please send an email with a brief description of your work experience and preference for a number of hours.
