3 tips to make your care assistant CV stand out
1. Give the workload context
“80-resident care home, 14-bed protected Alzheimer unit” describes your real experience. The facility name alone is not enough.
2. Prove the human dimension with facts
“Referent for 12 residents, main contact for families” proves the trust placed in you — far better than “great people skills”.
3. State your availability clearly
Scheduling is the sector's daily battle. “Available nights and weekends” in your profile can move your CV to the top of the pile.
