Job description

Overview

In your role as a Night 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. Right now, we're looking for an enthusiastic and committed Care Assistant to join the team at our care home. Whether we're providing long or short-term, convalescence, respite or palliative care, our focus is on providing the highest quality service at all times.

Responsibilities

As a Care Assistant under the guidance of a Registered Nurse, you will take responsibility for the physical, emotional well-being and social needs of our residents. You will assist residents with personal care activities such as washing, personal hygiene, dressing and assisting with meals. You will deliver a level of care that truly comes from the heart, ensuring residents retain dignity and individuality as you participate in general activities within the care home. You may help someone with limited mobility to use an aid, provide emotional support to a distressed resident, or deliver care to someone at the end of life, always keeping their well-being in mind.

Safeguarding

Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility. You should be able to recognise signs that may indicate abuse, harm or neglect in its different forms and know what to do if there are 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.
