Job Title: Care Assistant at HC-One

In your role as a Care Assistant at HC-One, you'll value kindness above all. It touches upon every aspect of our Dementia, Nursing, Residential, and Specialist care homes. Every single person who works here understands that our residents are people just like them with their own stories to tell.

By joining HC-One, you'll have a wonderful opportunity to give something back to those people.

We are currently seeking an enthusiastic and committed Care Assistant to join our team. Whether providing long-term, short-term, convalescence, respite, or palliative care, our focus is on delivering the highest quality service at all times.

As a Care Assistant, under the guidance of a Registered Nurse, you will be responsible for the physical, emotional, and social well-being of our residents. Your duties include assisting residents with personal care activities such as washing, personal hygiene, dressing, and helping with meals.

All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training suitable for their role and to undertake additional training as needed. You should also be able to seek advice and escalate concerns when necessary.
