We make health happen

Join The Bridles, a brand-new, state-of-the-art care home in Wincanton. Built for the future, we provide residential, nursing and specialist dementia care.

This isn’t just another care role — it’s your chance to help shape a new home, build a team culture, and set the standard from the very beginning.

With beautiful surroundings, smart technology, and a real focus on comfort and connection, The Bridles is somewhere you’ll be proud to work.

Why nights at The Bridles?

If you enjoy calmer environments, meaningful one-to-one care, and taking real ownership of your shift — nights are where you thrive.

As a Senior Care Assistant, you’ll lead from the front, running the unit overnight and making a genuine impact on residents’ comfort, safety, and wellbeing.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll take ownership of the night shift while supporting both residents and your team:

• Lead and coordinate the unit overnight

• Support clinical care alongside the Nurse (meds, observations, care plans)

• Guide and mentor Care Assistants on shift

• Deliver high-quality, person-centred care

• Build strong relationships with residents and families

• Ensure smooth, confident handovers

What we’re looking for

• NVQ Level 3 in Care (or working towards it – we’ll support you)

• Experience as a Senior or ready to step up

• Confident leading a shift and supporting others

• Calm, compassionate and organised — especially at night

• Passion for delivering truly personalised care

Why join Bupa?

We don’t just support residents — we support you.

• Free meal on every shift

• Wagestream – access pay early

• Interest-free annual travel loan to enable the purchase of public transport annual season tickets

• 24/7 health support (GP, physio, mental health)

• £350 annual healthcare allowance

• 28 days holiday

• Ongoing training & career development

• Enhanced sick pay + pension

• Family-friendly benefits

• Gym and lifestyle discounts
