Care Assistant at Ochre Care Ltd

Job Summary

Care Assistant – Westwood Residential Home, Selby

Ochre Care Ltd is looking for a Care Assistant to join its friendly, close-knit team at Westwood Residential Home.

Ochre Care Ltd is a small, family-run care home offering residential and dementia care. Because the home is small, care assistants get to know every resident: their stories, what makes them laugh and how they like their tea.

Whether you’re already in care or thinking about it for the first time, this is an opportunity to do work that makes a real difference to someone’s day.
