Job description

Bannockburn, Stirling, Scotland FK7

As a Senior Care Assistant at HC One, kindness will be at the core of everything you do. 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 us, you will have a wonderful opportunity to give something back to those people.

For you, that will mean planning and implementing the kind of care that will give our residents a real sense of security, dignity and independence. You will get to know our residents and their families, helping to ensure we deliver truly personalised care plans. You will lead a team of Care Assistants, be responsible for maintaining the highest standards of care, and be a real influence on the rest of the team. Whether you are showing someone how to use a walking frame, helping someone at the end of their life to eat a meal, or talking to a resident\'s family on the phone, you\'ll do so with kindness above all else. You will assist the Registered Nurse and Care Manager and will be involved in providing essential physical and mental stimulation through a range of social and recreational activities, as well as administering medication.

One of your key responsibilities as Senior Care Assistant is to maintain accurate records of the work you do and to build strong relationships with the rest of your team.

Ideally, you\'ll have completed a Level 2 Diploma in Adult Care and are prepared to work towards Level 3 qualification in Adult Care or equivalent, with a background in person-centred care planning and knowledge of caring for people with dementia. What\'s essential, though, is your brilliant positive energy and natural ability to get along with people. You\'ll know what good record keeping looks like and be able to manage your time effectively. And, whenever you communicate with a resident or co-worker, you\'ll be truly considerate and kind.

About HC-One

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 be able to provide the kindest possible care there are five qualities that everyone who is part of the HC-One team shows up with, supports and coaches in each other every single day. We call these five qualities, Kindness 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.

Safeguarding is everyone\'s responsibility and therefore it is important that you are able to recognise the signs which may indicate possible abuse, harm or neglect in its different forms and know what to do if there are any concerns. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training appropriate to their role and to undertake additional training in associated areas. You also have the ability to seek appropriate advice and report concerns, including escalation if action is not taken.

We\'ll provide full training, so it\'s a great opportunity to learn something new. In return, you will enjoy access to a huge variety of benefits and services to support your physical and psychological well-being and throughout your career as a Senior Care Assistant we will invest in you, including:

• Paid Enhanced DBS/PVG
• Hourly rate is subject to experience and qualifications
• Free uniform
• During a shift of eight hours or more a nutritious meal will be available
• Company pension scheme
• 28 days annual leave inclusive of bank holidays
• Group life assurance cover
• Wagestream - financial wellbeing and flexible access to pay as you need it
• Award-winning learning and development and support to achieve qualifications
• GP online - a service providing around the clock GP consultation via an interactive app, available to you and your children under 16
• An opportunity to learn from experienced colleagues as part of an outstanding and committed team
• Colleague discounts - Access to over 1600 high street discounts including carefully selected discount partners
• Wellbeing - free of charge access to an independent and confidential Employee Assistance
