£13.25 per hour
Full or part time hours available to include alternate weekends

What if your job wasn’t just about providing care… but about helping someone truly live?

At Peninsula Care Homes, we believe that moving into care shouldn’t mean losing the comforts, routines and small pleasures that make life feel rich and familiar. And that only happens because of people like you.

A rich life isn’t measured in tasks completed or charts updated. It’s measured in laughter over coffee; in a favourite chair placed just right; in gardening; in choosing an outfit that still feels like me; in a shared joke; a song; a quiet moment in the sunshine; or a hand held exactly when it’s needed.

As a Care Assistant at Bramble Down, you won’t just support daily routines - you’ll help create the conditions for meaningful days. For days that feel familiar, dignified, and truly lived.

We call it our Rich Life Framework but at its heart, it’s a promise. A promise that that every person who lives with us deserves a home where they feel safe, respected and valued. They’re someone with a story, a history, a personality - someone who deserves a home where life still feels like theirs.

We start with one simple question: “What does a rich life look like to you?” And as a team, we make it happen.

For some residents, that might mean tending tomatoes in the garden. For others, it’s music in the afternoon, a dance, a crossword, a sausage roll, people-watching, or simply sitting somewhere sunny with someone who truly listens. As health changes, we adapt - not to restrict life, but to keep opening it up. Because care should never close doors.

This role is about working with people, not just for them. Protecting their voice. Supporting their choices. Honouring the person they’ve always been. And at the end of every shift, we encourage our teams to ask: “Did I help someone live their rich life today?”

If that question matters to you - you’ll belong here.

Our CARE values (Committed. Ambitious. Responsible. Embracing) are not just words. They shape how we treat residents, families, and each other. You’ll be part of a team that supports one another, celebrates small victories, and takes pride in making a real difference.

What we offer:

• A role where you’ll see the difference you make every single day.
• Fully paid training plus excellent opportunities to grow and progress.
• A caring induction with your own mentor to help you settle in confidently.
• Free DBS check and auto-enrolment into our pension scheme.
• Flex Earn - see and access your earned wages before payday.
• Eligibility for the Blue Light Card, giving you discounts across shops, restaurants and more.
• Free meals when you’re working long shifts.
• Access to a Peninsula Care Homes Mental Health First Aider, an external confidential helpline for you and your family, the ‘Whycare?’ app, and a Refer a Friend scheme (earning you money for bringing your friends on board)

This isn’t care as usual. It’s care with heart. Care with purpose. Care that enriches life - every single day.

If you’re kind, thoughtful, and want to be part of something special, we would love to hear from you. To find out more about joining our team, please contact:
