Job description

Please note this is a NIGHT position.

In your role as a 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.

As a Care Assistant, under the guidance of a Registered Nurse, you'll be responsible for the physical and emotional well-being and social needs of our residents. This includes assisting residents with personal care activities such as washing, personal hygiene, dressing, and helping with meals. You'll deliver care that truly comes from the heart, ensuring residents never lose their dignity or sense of individuality. You'll get involved in general activities within the care home, helping those with limited mobility, offering emotional support, or providing end-of-life care, always prioritizing their well-being.

Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility. It is important that you can recognize signs of possible abuse, harm, or neglect and know what actions to take. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training appropriate to their role and undertake additional training as needed. You should also be able to seek advice and report concerns, including escalation if necessary.
