Job description

Dukinfield, Greater Manchester, England

Please note: This role is for part time 22hrs per week.

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 person who works here understands that residents are people with their own stories to tell, and joining us gives you a wonderful opportunity to give something back to those people.

For you, that will mean planning and implementing the kind of care that provides residents with 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 will be a positive influence on the rest of the team. Whether you are showing someone how to use a walking frame, helping someone at the end of life to eat a meal, or talking to a resident’s family on the phone, you will do so with kindness as a primary value. You will assist the Registered Nurse and Care Manager, and 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 your work and build strong relationships with the rest of your team.

Ideally, you’ll have completed a Level 2 Diploma S/NVQ in Adult Care and be 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 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 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 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 it is important that you are able to recognise 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 wide range of benefits and services to support your physical and psychological well-being. Throughout your career as a Senior Care Assistant we will invest in you and you will receive additional support and benefits 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)
