Job description

About The Role

At HC-One, we are looking for enthusiastic and committed Care Assistants to join our Flex Force team.

If you’re looking to earn extra money while gaining valuable experience in the care sector, Flex Force is the perfect solution. With contracted hours and guaranteed set pay each month, you’ll also enjoy the freedom to choose shifts that fit around your family life or other commitments. Shifts will be offered across our care homes in the Leicester area, providing you with a variety of opportunities and flexibility to shape your working week.

Shifts are scheduled between Monday and Sunday and may not always be consecutive, including days, nights, and weekends. Flexibility is key to being a Flex Force Care Assistant, as it ensures you can adapt to the needs of our homes while still maintaining control over your schedule.

The homes include: Cedar Court, LE18 2BP; Magna, LE18 2BP; Harley Grange, LE2 3JD; Bradley Hall, LE4 2BD; Mountain View, LE7 7NL.

As a Flexible 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. By joining HC-One, you’ll have a wonderful opportunity to give back to these individuals.

Whether providing long- or short-term care, including respite and palliative care, our focus is on providing the kindest and highest quality care.

Delivering care that comes from the heart involves ensuring residents' dignity and individuality. You might assist someone with limited mobility, offer emotional support to distressed residents, or deliver end-of-life care, always prioritizing their well-being.

Duties include:

• Supporting residents with personal care activities such as washing, hygiene, dressing, and meals.
• Helping residents with limited mobility.
• Taking responsibility for the well-being of residents on and off-site.

A driving license with access to a vehicle is advantageous but not essential.

Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility. You should recognize signs of abuse, harm, or neglect and know the appropriate actions to take. All colleagues will attend safeguarding training and undertake additional relevant training. You should be able to seek advice and report concerns, including escalation if needed.

Our team embodies five qualities: curiosity, compassion, creativity, courage, and reliability, which we call "Kindness the HC-One Way." We promote inclusivity, fostering a workplace where everyone feels valued and can be themselves. Our diverse workforce helps us better serve our communities.

As part of the Flex Force team, you’ll receive full training and opportunities to grow your experience in the care sector. We invest in our colleagues and offer various benefits, including:

• Guaranteed hours and pay with a permanent contract.
• Flexible shifts to suit your lifestyle.
• Pay progression with experience.
• Opportunities close to home.
• Paid annual leave.
• Learning and development programs.
