Make a Difference Every Day!

Do you have the passion to help others live happy, fulfilled lives?

At Priority, part of Orbis Education & Care, we deliver truly person-centred support — real people helping real people to thrive.

We're now looking for Care Assistants to join our friendly, supportive team at our beautiful four-bedroom home near Bridgend, set within two acres of peaceful Welsh countryside. This warm, nurturing environment is a place where individuals with complex needs — including learning disabilities, mental health needs and autism — can grow in confidence, develop life skills and enjoy greater independence.

If you want to play a meaningful role in helping people achieve their potential, this could be the perfect role for you.

What You'll Be Doing

As a Care Assistant, you'll make a genuine impact every day by:

* Supporting adults with their daily needs to ensure emotional, physical and social wellbeing.

* Building strong, trusting relationships so each person feels safe, valued and understood.

* Encouraging independence and helping people develop essential life skills.

* Supporting activities at home, during education programmes, or out in the community.

* Working closely with your team to tailor support to each individual's needs.

* Maintaining accurate records of progress, activities and any incidents.

* Helping with day-to-day household tasks like cooking, cleaning and meal preparation.

What We're Looking For in a Care Assistant
You don't need previous care experience — just the right values and attitude. We're looking for:

* A caring, patient and resilient approach to supporting others.

* Excellent communication skills and a positive, can-do mindset.

* Flexibility to work days, evenings, weekends and waking nights as part of a rota.

* A full UK driving licence (due to our peaceful rural location).

* A willingness to learn — full training is provided!

Please note: This role involves regulated activity with adults and requires an Enhanced DBS with barred list check.

What We Can Offer You

Working as a Care Assistant with us means joining an organisation that genuinely values its people.

* Support at every step - Employee Assistance, Wellbeing Champions and Salary Finance Support.

* Blue Light Card - discounts on over 15,000 UK retailers and businesses.

* Refer a Friend bonus - earn up to £1,000!
