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 are 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.

This is a full-time position of 44 hours per week on day shifts.

Responsibilities

• Support the physical, emotional and social wellbeing of residents, including personal care such as washing, dressing, hygiene and meals, and assisting with daily activities in the home.
• Deliver care that respects residents’ individuality and respond to needs related to limited mobility, distress, or end-of-life care.
• Uphold safeguarding responsibilities: recognise signs of potential abuse, harm or neglect, attend safeguarding training, and report concerns or escalate as required.
• Work under the guidance of a Registered Nurse to ensure high-quality care.

Qualifications & Requirements

• Full right to work in the UK; we cannot offer sponsorship for visa holders.
• Willingness to complete safeguarding training and ongoing professional development.
• Availability for a full-time role of 44 hours per week on day shifts.
