Working as a senior care assistant offers flexible work that fits around your lifestyle. There are full time and part-time roles available, and those can also be tailored to the days and times that you are available for work.
You will need a valid UK driving licence and access to a car for home care roles so that you can make your daily visits, but this is not required for care home roles.
Once you have experience as a care assistant and a professional care qualification (NVQ3 or above), you can progress your career in care to become a senior care assistant. For this job type, as well as providing care to clients in line with their care plans, you will safely administer accurate medication alongside leading and supporting healthcare assistants team.

Whilst a driving license is required for most senior care assistant jobs providing home care, it isn't needed for this job type in care homes.
The job types of 'senior care assistant' and 'senior healthcare assistant' are often used interchangeably.

Ongoing professional training will be provided for this job type to develop your professional qualifications. This may include patient care specialisms such as dementia or end of life care.
