Job description

About The Role
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 and emotional well-being and social needs of our residents. Your duties include assisting residents with personal care activities such as washing, personal hygiene, dressing, and assisting with meals.

Delivering care that comes from the heart is essential. It’s about ensuring our residents never lose their dignity or sense of individuality. You’ll be involved in activities within the care home, helping those with limited mobility, offering emotional support to distressed residents, or caring for those at the end of their life, always prioritizing their well-being.

Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility. It is important that you can recognize signs of abuse, harm, or neglect and know what actions to take. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training and undertake additional relevant training. You should also be able to seek advice and escalate concerns appropriately.
