Job description

About the role

Full Time Position, Day and Night Shift Available

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 in adult social care. It is important that you can recognise the signs which may indicate possible abuse, harm or neglect, know what to do if there are concerns, attend safeguarding training, seek appropriate advice, and report concerns, including escalation if action is not taken.

You will enjoy access to a huge variety of benefits and services to support your well‑being:

• An hourly rate is subject to experience and qualifications
• Paid Enhanced DBS/PVG
• Free uniform
• During a shift of eight hours or more a nutritious meal will be available
• Company pension scheme – 28 days annual leave inclusive of bank holidays

• An opportunity to learn from experienced colleagues as part of an outstanding and committed team
• Access to over 1600 high street discounts including carefully selected discount partners
• Free of charge access to an independent and confidential Employee Assistance Programme

This gives Colleagues and their family access to 24/7 365 support for a whole range of issues including physical, mental and financial issues.

• An attractive refer a friend scheme of up to £1000 per referral, depending on the role
