Job description

Overview

About The Role: As a Care Assistant at HC-One, you’ll value kindness above all. Every employee understands that residents are people with their own stories. We’re looking for an enthusiastic and committed Care Assistant to join the team at Foley Grange. Our focus is on providing the highest quality service at all times.

As a Care Assistant you will take responsibility for the physical and emotional wellbeing and social needs of our residents. You will assist residents with personal care activities such as washing, personal hygiene, dressing and assisting with meals. Delivering care that truly comes from the heart is about ensuring residents never lose their dignity or sense of individuality as you get involved in general activities within the care home. Whether helping someone with limited mobility to use an aid, offering emotional support to a confused or distressed resident, or delivering care to someone at the end of life, you’ll always have their wellbeing in mind above anything else.

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. It is important to recognise signs of possible abuse, harm or neglect in its different forms and know what to do if there are concerns. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training appropriate to their role and to undertake additional training in related areas. You also have the ability to seek appropriate advice and report concerns, including escalation if action is not taken.

About HC-One

At HC-One, kindness is more than a word—it’s a way of life. We believe that caring for people means caring about what matters most to them, so we can support them to live their best possible lives.

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—asking questions, seeking to understand.
• We are compassionate—walking in the shoes of others.
• We are creative—finding practical ways to make things happen.
• We are courageous—supporting residents to live the life they choose.
• And we are dependable—people can always count on us.

We champion inclusivity, fostering a workplace where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to be themselves. Our diverse workforce helps us learn from one another and better reflect the communities we serve. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds into our HC-One family and prioritise inclusive working practices across everything we do.

We are enhancing the way we support residents through digital care planning. This technology is helping us streamline care, improve outcomes, and make daily tasks more efficient. As we continue to grow our digital capabilities, we’re looking for team members who are comfortable with technology—or open to learning. You’ll be supported every step of the way.

We care about our colleagues and are committed to supporting your personal and professional development. From the moment you receive a job offer, we aim for the quickest possible turnaround to get you started, with full support every step of the way. With clear career pathways, continuous professional development, and postgraduate programmes, HC-One will invest in your growth—opening up opportunities at regional and national levels.
