HEALTH CARE ASSISTANT WANTED

JOB IS BASED IN PORTSCATHO ON THE ROSELAND PENINSULA, NOT CENTRAL TRURO.
We are looking for a Health Care Assistant, experience preferred but we will also train those new to the world of care. It will be a full-time post and the rate of pay will be based upon your experience. We’re a bunch of happy people who love what we do and we try and have the best time doing it. We are a well-established nursing home and you will find here a good working atmosphere, free lunch on duty and free parking.
You know when you speak to friends and they talk about loving their job and how they never want to leave. We have many people here at Eshcol who say exactly that about working here. We’re not a big company with a corporate structure. Our manager has an open-door policy and encourages everyone to come to her with feedback about anything. You can have a laugh here, it’s a happy place with a good vibe about it.
You probably need to have your own transport due to our location.
This is a short advert because who wants to wade through lines of text saying the same old thing about being a care assistant. Come and see what it’s like here, meet a few of us and then take the plunge to join the Eshcol famiy.
It will be shift work including weekends.
Please send your CV to reception@eshcolhouse.com
