Job description

Overview

In your role as a Night Care Assistant at HC-One, you’ll value kindness above all, touching every aspect of our care. Our residents are people with their own stories to tell, and our team understands that. We’re looking for an enthusiastic and committed Care Assistant to join the team at Launton Grange. Our focus is on providing the highest quality service at all times.

Responsibilities

• As a Night Care Assistant you will take responsibility for the physical and emotional wellbeing and social needs of our residents.
• Assist residents with personal care activities such as washing, personal hygiene, dressing and assisting with meals.
• Deliver a level of care that comes from the heart, ensuring residents never lose their dignity or sense of individuality, and participate in general activities within the care home.
• Support residents with limited mobility to use an aid, provide emotional support to a confused or distressed resident, or deliver care to someone at the end of life, with their wellbeing in mind above all else.

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. You should be able to recognise signs of possible abuse, harm or neglect and know what to do if you have concerns. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training appropriate to their role and to undertake additional training in related areas. You should also have the ability to seek appropriate advice and report concerns, including escalation if action is not taken.

About The Company

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, HC-One relies on five values or qualities that all team members show up with, support and coach in each other every day. We call these five qualitiesKindness 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’re 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 represent the communities we serve.

Our dedicated, professional colleagues strive to always deliver outstanding care—and we care about our talented teams too, supporting them in their professional and personal growth. We are committed to developing people that work for us through robust career pathways, CPD and post graduate programmes. Throughout your career, HC-One will invest in you with opportunities to progress into regional and national roles.
