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 person working here understands that our residents are individuals with their own stories to tell.

Joining HC-One offers a wonderful opportunity to give back to these individuals.

We are currently looking for an enthusiastic and committed Care Assistant to join our team. Whether providing long-term, short-term, convalescence, respite, or palliative care, our focus remains on delivering 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, emotional, and social well-being of our residents. Your duties include assisting residents with personal care activities such as washing, hygiene, dressing, and helping with meals.

Deliver care that genuinely comes from the heart, ensuring residents retain their dignity and individuality. You may help someone with limited mobility learn to use an aid, provide emotional support to a confused or distressed resident, or deliver end-of-life care, always prioritizing their well-being.

Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility. It is important to recognize signs of abuse, harm, or neglect and know the appropriate actions to take. All staff must attend safeguarding training relevant to their role and be able to seek advice and report concerns, escalating issues when necessary.
