Job summary

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'll have a wonderful opportunity to give something back to those people.

Main duties of the job

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. Leading a team of Care Assistants, you will be responsible for maintaining the highest standards of care and you'll be a real influence on the rest of the team.

Assisting the Registered Nurse and Care Manager, you will be involved in providing essential physical and mental stimulation through various social and recreational activities, as well as administering medication.
