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.

You also have the ability to seek appropriate advice and report concerns, including escalation if action is not taken.
