Job description

About The Role

In your role as a Care Assistant at HC-One's Strathtay, 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 and emotional well-being and social needs of our residents. This includes assisting 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 our residents never lose their dignity or sense of individuality. You will be involved in general activities within the care home, helping those with limited mobility, providing emotional support to distressed residents, or delivering end-of-life care, always prioritizing their well-being.

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. It is important that you can recognize signs of possible abuse, harm, or neglect in its different forms and know what actions to take if concerns arise. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training appropriate to their role and undertake additional training in related areas. You should be able to seek advice and report concerns, including escalation if necessary.
