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 Newcastle 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 home locations include: Kirkwood Court NE3 3AX, Sutherland Court NE4 9NS, Orchard Mews NE4 6UX, Fleming Court NE2 3AE

About The Role

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 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.

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

Delivering a level of care that truly comes from the heart. It’s about making sure our residents never lose their dignity or sense of individuality as you get involved in general activities within the care home. And, whether you’re helping someone with limited mobility to learn to use an aid, offering emotional support to a confused or distressed resident, or delivering care to someone at the end of their life, you’ll always have their well-being in mind above anything else.

Duties are varied but will include:

• Supporting Residents with personal care activities such as washing, personal hygiene, dressing, and assisting with meals
• Helping Residents with limited mobility
• Taking responsibility for the wellbeing of Residents on and off site

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

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. It is important that you are able to recognize the signs which may indicate possible abuse, harm, or neglect in its different forms and know what to do if there are any concerns. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training appropriate to their role and to undertake additional training in related areas. You also have the ability to seek appropriate advice and report concerns, including escalation if action is not taken.

About HC-One

At HC-One, kindness is more than a word. It is a belief that caring for people means caring about what matters most to them so we can support them to lead their best possible life.

To provide the kindest possible care, there are five qualities that everyone who is part of the HC-One team demonstrates and supports daily. We call these Kindness the HC-One Way: We are curious and ask questions, look for clues, and seek to understand. We are compassionate and try to walk in the shoes of others. We are creative yet practical, using our imagination to make things happen. We are courageous in how we support residents to live the life they want, and we can always be counted on.

We champion inclusivity, fostering a workplace where everyone feels valued and can be themselves. Our diverse and inclusive workforce allows us to learn from each other and better serve the communities we care for.

As part of the Flex Force team, you’ll receive full training, providing a great opportunity to grow your experience in the care sector.

In return, we will invest in your career as a Care Assistant, and you will enjoy a wide range of benefits and support for your physical and psychological wellbeing, including:

• Guaranteed hours and set monthly pay with a permanent contract
• Flexibility to choose shifts that suit your lifestyle
• Pay progression with experience
• Opportunities close to home
• Paid annual leave
• Award-winning training and development
• Life assurance and pension scheme
• Employee Assistance Programme
• Free Uniform
• Free DBS/PVG checks

We are committed to ensuring our current and future colleagues can be their true selves, reflecting the communities we serve. We prioritize inclusive working practices and welcome applicants from all backgrounds. We aim to provide a quick and smooth onboarding process from offer to start date.
