Care Assistant

We are Ashmere - a family-run group of care homes across Derbyshire devoted to providing high-quality residential, nursing, dementia and specialist care. We believe in treating every resident as part of our family, ensuring dignity, compassion and respect in everything we do. At Ashmere, our homes offer welcoming, supportive environments where our residents feel safe, cared for, and valued. At Ashmere, we've been supporting communities in Derbyshire for three generations with a proud heritage in elder care.

Across our seven care homes, we deliver a full range of services including residential care, nursing, dementia support, complex continuing health care, and end-of-life care - even providing a dedicated household for Deaf and hard-of-hearing residents cared for by BSL-fluent staff. We tailor care plans around each individual, offering 24-hour support, nutritious meals, meaningful social and therapeutic activities, and a warm home-like atmosphere.

Our mission is simple: to offer care as if our residents were family - ensuring comfort, respect, and quality of life every day. At Ashmere, our culture is rooted in kindness, family values and genuine teamwork. We believe that exceptional care starts with exceptional people, which is why we invest in staff who share our commitment to compassion, dignity and openness.

We encourage collaboration, continuous learning and honest communication throughout all our homes. Whether someone works in care, catering, housekeeping or management, every role is respected and appreciated. Our aim is to create a workplace where colleagues feel supported, trusted and proud of the difference they make. Our benefits
