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 Redditch 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 Milcroft and Haywood Lodge.

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 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, including respite and palliative care, our focus is always on providing the kindest and highest quality care.

Delivering care that truly comes from the heart, ensuring our residents never lose their dignity or sense of individuality. You may be involved in activities like helping residents with limited mobility, offering emotional support, or delivering 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 wellbeing of residents on and off-site.

A driving license and access to a vehicle would be advantageous but are not essential.

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

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

• Guaranteed hours and pay with a permanent contract.
• Flexible shifts to suit your lifestyle.
