As a Senior Care Assistant at HC One, kindness is at the core of everything you do. It influences all aspects of our Dementia, Nursing, Residential, and Specialist care homes.

Your responsibilities will include planning and delivering care that promotes residents' security, dignity, and independence. You will get to know residents and their families to help create personalized care plans. Leading a team of Care Assistants, you'll maintain high standards of care and positively influence your team.

Experience in person-centered care planning and caring for people with dementia is desirable. However, your positive energy, ability to connect with people, good record-keeping skills, time management, and kindness are essential.
