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 – making sure residents never lose their individuality. You’ll support residents with limited mobility, offer comfort to those who are distressed, and provide compassionate end-of-life care, always putting their wellbeing first. Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility and you should be able to recognise signs of potential abuse, harm or neglect and know what to do if concerns arise. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training appropriate to their role and to undertake additional training in associated areas. You will have the ability to seek appropriate advice and report concerns, including escalation if action is not taken. This is a full-time position working 44 hours per week on nights.

About HC-One and our values

At HC-One, kindness is more than a word – it's a way of life. We believe that caring for people means caring about what matters most to them, so we can support them to live their best possible lives. We promote five key qualities in everything we do, called 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, fostering a workplace where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to be themselves. Our diverse workforce helps us learn from one another and better reflect the communities we serve. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds into our HC-One family and prioritise inclusive working practices across everything we do. We are enhancing the way we support residents through digital care planning. This technology helps streamline care, improve outcomes, and make daily tasks more efficient. As we grow our digital capabilities, we’re looking for team members who are comfortable with technology – or open to learning. You’ll be supported every step of the way. We care about our colleagues and are committed to supporting your personal and professional development. From the moment you receive a job offer, we aim for the quickest possible turnaround to get you started, with full support every step of the way. With clear career pathways, continuous professional development, and postgraduate programmes, HC-One will invest in your growth – opening up opportunities at regional and national levels.
