Extra Care Floating Care Assistant

Job Description

This is a unique opportunity to work within our Extra Care Housing Schemes, supporting residents to live safely and independently in their own apartments.

• Provide a visible, reassuring presence throughout the Extra Care scheme.
• Respond quickly to emergency alarms and resident requests for assistance.
• Deliver personal care when required with dignity, compassion and respect.
• Support residents with mobility, medication, nutrition and general wellbeing.
• Build positive relationships and offer companionship to help reduce isolation.
• Encourage residents to remain as independent as possible.
• Promote participation in social activities and community life within the scheme.
• Work closely with the on-site care team to ensure residents receive safe, high-quality support.
