Job description

About The Role

In your role as a Care Assistant at HC-One, The Birches, 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.

Right now, we’re looking for an enthusiastic and committed Care Assistant to join the team at our care home. Whether we're providing long or short-term, convalescence, respite or palliative care, our focus is on providing 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 needs of our residents. This includes assisting with personal care activities such as washing, personal hygiene, dressing, and helping with meals.

You will deliver care that comes from the heart, ensuring residents maintain their dignity and individuality. Your involvement in activities within the care home will support this goal. Whether helping someone with limited mobility to use an aid, offering emotional support to a confused or distressed resident, or providing end-of-life care, your focus will always be on their well-being.

Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility. It is essential that you can recognize signs of abuse, harm, or neglect and know how to respond appropriately. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training relevant to their role and undertake additional training as needed. You should feel confident to seek advice and escalate concerns when necessary.
