Care Assistant – Long Weekend Working Pattern

We’re introducing a different approach to care staffing!

A predictable long-weekend working pattern designed around consistency, workforce flexibility and a better balance between work and personal time.

Working 36 hours per week, you’ll work across a four day period from Friday to Monday, with a requirement to work a minimum of 3 out of the 4 days.

This approach provides a more structured and predictable work, allowing you to plan your working commitments while retaining a meaningful block of non working days during the week.

What You’ll Be Doing

Support residents with personal care and daily routines

Assist with meals and activities

Promote independence, dignity and choice

Support safe moving and handling

Build positive relationships with residents

Recognise and report changes in residents’ needs

Maintain accurate records

Work collaboratively with the wider care team

What We’re Looking For

Previous experience working in a UK care home or adult social care setting

A caring, reliable and professional approach

Confidence supporting residents with personal care and daily needs

Strong communication and teamwork skills

Current PVG or willingness to apply

Commitment to working the agreed Friday-Monday pattern

A genuine passion for providing high-quality care

What you get in return

Holiday pay on every shift

Online scheduling and diary management

Opportunities across a respected network of care settings

Ongoing support from the ASA team
