Care Assistant

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 helping with meals.

Delivering a level of care that truly comes from the heart is essential. It's about ensuring our residents never lose their dignity or sense of individuality. You will be involved in general activities within the care home. Whether helping someone with limited mobility to learn to use an aid, offering emotional support to a confused or distressed resident, or delivering care at the end of their life, you will always prioritize their well-being.

Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility. It is important that you can recognize signs of possible abuse, harm, or neglect and know what actions to take. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training suitable for their role and to undertake additional related training. You should also be able to seek advice and report concerns, including escalation if necessary.
