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

What We’re Looking For

• 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

What You’ll Receive

• £13.15 – £14.30 per hour
• Paid breaks
• 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

If you’re a Senior Healthcare Assistant looking to step into a role where you are known, valued and trusted within a stand-alone home — we would love to hear from you.
