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. As a Flex Force Care Assistant, you’ll travel between a cluster of our homes, which is an essential and expected part of the role.

The homes include Kirkwood Court, NE3 3AX, Sutherland Court, NE4 9NS, Orchard Mews, N4 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.

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 and therefore it is important that you are able to recognise 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 associated areas.
