Overview

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 Swansea 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. Flexibility is key, as it allows you to support the unique needs of each home while still keeping control over your schedule.

The homes include: Glanffrwd, SA10 6YA; Peniel Green, SA7 9BD; Plas Cwm Carw, SA13 1DF; Saint Martins, SA6 7BJ; Cwrt-Clwydi-Gwyn, SA10 6YA.

About The Role

As a Flexible Care Assistant at HC-One, you 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

Requirements & Benefits

• A driving licence with access to a vehicle would be advantageous but is not essential.
• Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility and it is important you can recognise signs of possible abuse, harm or neglect and know what to do. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training appropriate to their role and undertake additional training in associated areas. You should be able to seek appropriate advice and report concerns, including escalation if action is not taken.
• We value development: clear career pathways, continuous professional development and opportunities for progression.
