Job description

About The Role

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.

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 and emotional well-being and social needs of our residents. This includes assisting residents with personal care activities such as washing, personal hygiene, dressing, and assisting with meals.

You will deliver a level of care that truly comes from the heart, ensuring residents never lose their dignity or sense of individuality. Your involvement in activities within the care home will be vital. Whether helping someone with limited mobility to learn to use an aid, offering emotional support to a confused or distressed resident, or delivering end-of-life care, your focus will always be on their well-being.

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. It is important that you can recognize signs indicating possible abuse, harm, or neglect in its various forms and know the appropriate actions to take. 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 report concerns, including escalation if necessary.
