About The Role
We hope you have plenty of energy because your new role as a care home Well-being Assistant could be right around the corner at Beckenham Park Care Home in Beckenham. The home is looking for a positive and energetic team member like you, to support the Well-being Co-ordinator in providing a wide range of activities to engage and stimulate the physical, psychological and social wellbeing of our residents as well as supporting staff in well-being activities. There is always something going on and lots to get involved with to bring a smile to your face, your residents faces and to create a happy home culture for all.

Most importantly, your role is to make a difference to the lives of everyone in the home by listening to their needs and providing opportunities that make a difference, all whilst demonstrating our values of being Proud, Supportive and Caring.
