About Prestige Nursing & Care Blackpool

Blackpool branch prides itself on the care they deliver in and around the community, with colleagues and clients having been with us for over 15 years! Whilst our branch is situated in Blackpool, much of our work is in and around our towns and villages within the local areas. We offer a variety of care services; however, we do pride ourselves on the excellent support and care we deliver.

What our clients are looking for

We have an exciting vacancy within the local Blackpool and surrounding area for a Community Care Assistant to join our team and develop their care skills, working alongside our Branch Nurses and Care Staff with opportunity to progress. We are currently looking for a care assistant to visit our service users and assist them with medication, meal support, personal care, and socialising. In addition, this individual would have the opportunity to develop skills in areas of low-level clinical skills with further scope to train within more complex care.

Experience working within care is an advantage, but not necessary for the right candidate. You would be supporting individuals to live independently within their own homes, on a part time basis, and would have consistent individuals with whom you would build a rapport with.
