Job description
Overview

At HC-One, kindness is at the heart of everything we do across our Dementia, Nursing, Residential and Specialist care homes. Our residents are people with their own stories to tell, and by joining us you'll have the chance to give something back while helping them live with dignity and purpose.

We're looking for an enthusiastic and committed Care Assistant to join our team. Working under the guidance of a Registered Nurse, you'll support the physical, emotional and social wellbeing of our residents. This includes personal care such as washing, dressing, hygiene and meals, as well as helping with daily activities in the home. You\'ll deliver care that comes from the heart - making sure residents never lose their individuality. Whether you\'re supporting someone with limited mobility, offering comfort to a resident who is distressed, or providing compassionate end-of-life care, you\'ll always put their wellbeing first.

Safeguarding is everyone\'s responsibility and therefore it is important that you are able to recognise the signs which may indicate possible abuse, harm or neglect in its different forms and know what to do if there are any concerns. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training appropriate to their role and to undertake additional training in associated areas. You also have the ability to seek appropriate advice and report concerns, including escalation if action is not taken.

Responsibilities

Support residents\' physical, emotional and social wellbeing under the guidance of a Registered Nurse. Provide personal care (washing, dressing, hygiene) and assist with meals. Support residents with daily activities in the home. Deliver care with kindness, respecting each resident\'s individuality and choices. Offer comfort and companionship, and provide compassionate end-of-life care when needed.

Requirements

Please note: We are only able to consider applications from individuals who already have the full right to work in the UK. Unfortunately, we cannot offer sponsorship or accept applications from those on a time-limited visa. Applications that do not meet this criteria will not be progressed.

About HC-One and Values

To provide the kindest possible care, everyone at HC-One brings and nurtures five key qualities-what we call Kindness the HC-One Way: We are curious, compassionate, creative, courageous, and dependable. We champion inclusivity and welcome applicants from all backgrounds into our HC-One family, prioritising inclusive working practices across everything we do. We are also enhancing care through digital planning and will support team members who are comfortable with technology or open to learning. We\'ll provide clear career pathways, continuous professional development, and postgraduate programmes to invest in your growth.
