Job description

Stalybridge, Greater Manchester, England – SK15

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, and by joining us you’ll have the chance to give something back while helping them live with dignity and purpose.

Responsibilities

• Provide care under the guidance of a Registered Nurse, supporting the physical, emotional and social wellbeing of residents.
• Assist with personal care (washing, dressing, hygiene) and meals, and help with daily activities in the home.
• Deliver care that recognises residents’ individuality and supports those with limited mobility, distressed residents, and those receiving end-of-life care.
• Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility: recognise signs of potential abuse, harm or neglect, seek appropriate advice and report concerns, including escalation if action is not taken. Attend safeguarding training appropriate to the role and undertake related training as required.

About HC-One and values

At HC-One, kindness is more than a word – it’s a way of life. We believe caring for people means caring about what matters most to them so we can support them to live their best possible lives. We nurture five key qualities, what we call Kindness the HC-One Way:

• We are curious — asking questions, seeking to understand.
• We are compassionate — walking in the shoes of others.
• We are creative — finding practical ways to make things happen.
• We are courageous — supporting residents to live the life they choose.
• We are dependable — people can always count on us.

We champion inclusivity and are committed to a diverse workforce and inclusive working practices across everything we do. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds into our HC-One family and prioritise inclusive working practices.
