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 person who works here understands that our residents are people with their own stories to tell.

By joining HC-One, you’ll have a wonderful opportunity to give back to these individuals.

We are currently looking for an enthusiastic and committed Care Assistant to join our care home team. Whether providing long or short-term, convalescence, respite, or palliative care, our focus is on delivering 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 well-being of our residents. This includes assisting with personal care activities such as washing, hygiene, dressing, and helping with meals.

You will deliver care that comes from the heart, ensuring residents never lose their dignity or sense of individuality. Your involvement may include helping those with limited mobility, offering emotional support to distressed residents, or caring for someone at the end of their life, always prioritizing their well-being.

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. You should be able to recognize signs of abuse, harm, or neglect and know how to respond. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training relevant to their role and undertake additional training as needed. You should also be able to seek advice and escalate concerns appropriately.

• Free uniform
• Nutritious meals during shifts of eight hours or more
