Job description

About The Role

Please note that we have both part-time and full-time shifts available working night shifts only, 8pm - 8am.

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, emotional, and social needs of our residents. Your duties include assisting residents with personal care activities such as washing, personal hygiene, dressing, and helping with meals.

You will deliver care that comes from the heart, ensuring residents maintain their dignity and individuality. This includes helping those with limited mobility, offering emotional support to distressed residents, and providing end-of-life care, 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 act if concerns arise. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training appropriate to their role and undertake additional relevant training. You should also be able to seek advice and report concerns, escalating them when necessary.
