About us:
Chiltern Grange Care Home enjoys lovely views over open countryside and the nearby Chiltern Hills, and provides 24-hour residential, nursing and dementia care to the elderly. Located just minutes from the centre of Stokenchurch and with swift access from junction 5 of the M40 motorway, the home is also within easy reach of the nearby towns of Princes Risborough, Chinnor, Watlington, Maidenhead, Marlow and High Wycombe. We look after up to 75 residents in beautifully decorated, private, en suite bedrooms, with a range of well-appointed lounges, dining rooms and landscaped, terraced gardens. As part of the Porthaven Care Home Group, we are committed to delivering person-centred care through the development of individualised care plans, to ensure the physical, emotional and social needs of our residents are met, and that they receive care that promotes choice, dignity and respect. A Porthaven home is a place to live well and Chiltern Grange is no exception.
About the role:
Under the guidance of the Registered Nurse on duty, you will carry out a wide range of care tasks, offering our residents emotional as well as physical support. You will assist residents with personal care such as washing, personal hygiene, dressing and feeding, and provide physical and mental stimulation by taking part in social and recreational activities. You will also help to maintain accurate care records, and get involved in welcoming and training new staff. Promoting our residents’ independence, choice, dignity and respect by spending time getting to know them and their families, will help you to deliver the high standards of person-centred care that is of paramount importance to Porthaven.
About you:
Cheerful and compassionate by nature, you will possess sound judgment, initiative and problem-solving abilities and be able to pay attention to the details. Reading, writing and communicating clearly in English is vital. Experience is preferred, but not as essential as your genuine desire to develop or progress a career in this field. A respectful and courteous attitude to seniors is required, and weekend availability is highly desirable.
