Overview

About The Role

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’re 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 role will be covering day shifts.

Responsibilities

• Support the physical, emotional and social wellbeing of residents under the guidance of a Registered Nurse.
• Provide personal care including washing, dressing, hygiene and meals, and assist with daily activities in the home.
• Deliver care with empathy and respect for individual preferences and dignity.
• Support residents with varying levels of mobility and comfort residents who are distressed; provide compassionate end-of-life care where needed.
• Recognise safeguarding signs, report concerns, attend safeguarding training, and escalate as required.

Requirements / Qualifications

• Ability to recognise safeguarding signs and know what to do if there are concerns; attend safeguarding training appropriate to the role.
• Right to work in the UK (no sponsorship or time-limited visa applications).
• Willingness to learn and adapt to digital care planning and technology; support from the team and training will be provided.
• Commitment to personal and professional development; opportunities for career progression and further qualifications.
