Job description

Overview

In your role as a Care Assistant at HC-One, you20ll 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 you20ll have a wonderful opportunity to give something back to those people.

Right now, we20re looking for an enthusiastic and committed Care Assistant to join the team at our care home. Whether we20re providing long or short-term, convalescence, respite or palliative care, our focus is on providing the highest quality service at all times.

Responsibilities

As a Care Assistant under the guidance of a Registered Nurse, you will take responsibility for the physical and emotional well being and social needs of our residents. You will assist residents with personal care activities such as washing, personal hygiene, dressing and assisting with meals. You will deliver a level of care that truly comes from the heart, ensuring residents never lose their dignity or sense of individuality as you engage in general activities within the care home. Whether helping someone with limited mobility to learn to use an aid, offering emotional support to a confused or distressed resident or delivering care to someone at the end of their life, you will keep the resident0s well-being in mind above all else.

Safeguarding is everyone0s responsibility. You should be able to recognise signs which may indicate possible abuse, harm or neglect in its different forms and know what to do if concerns arise. 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.
