Job description

Overview

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, ensuring residents never lose their individuality.

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. You should be able to recognise the signs of possible abuse, harm or neglect and know what to do if there are concerns. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training appropriate to their role and to undertake additional training in associated areas.

About HC-One: kindness is a way of life. We aim to support residents to live their best possible lives and to be kind in five key ways: curious, compassionate, creative, courageous and dependable.

We champion inclusivity and value a diverse workforce, with a commitment to inclusive working practices. We are also enhancing support for residents through digital care planning and are looking for team members who are comfortable with technology or open to learning. HC-One will support your personal and professional development, with clear career pathways and opportunities for progression.

Please note: We are only able to consider applications from individuals who already have the full right to work in the UK. We cannot offer sponsorship or consider time-limited visa applications. Applications that do not meet this criterion will not be progressed.

Responsibilities

• Support residents under the guidance of a Registered Nurse, helping with personal care (washing, dressing, hygiene) and meals.
• Assist with daily activities in the home and provide compassionate, person-centred care to maintain residents’ dignity and individuality.
• Support residents with varying mobility and wellbeing, including comfort for distressed residents and end-of-life care where appropriate.
• Uphold safeguarding principles: recognise signs of abuse or neglect, seek advice and report concerns, including escalation if required.

Qualifications & Expectations

• Enthusiastic, committed Care Assistant with a caring approach.
• Willingness to undertake safeguarding training and participate in ongoing development.
• Comfort with technology or openness to learning digital care planning tools.

Benefits

• Rewards and benefits including a pension scheme, generous annual leave, and wellbeing support.
• Paid Enhanced DBS/PVG and free uniform.
• Flexible access to pay with Wagestream, learning and development opportunities, and discounts with partner providers.

You will be joining a team dedicated to providing high-quality, person-centered care and opportunities for career growth within HC-One.
