Job description

Humberston, Grimsby , Lincolnshire , England

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. And, by joining us, you'll 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. 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. 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 a sense of kindness, above anything else. Assisting the Registered Nurse and Care Manager, you 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 job you do and build strong relationships with the rest of your team.

Ideally, you\'ll have completed a Level 2 Diploma S/NVQ in Adult Social Care and are prepared to work towards Level 3 qualification in Adult Social Care or equivalent, 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.

Responsibilities

• Plan and implement personalised care that supports security, dignity and independence
• Lead and support a team of Care Assistants to maintain high care standards
• Assist residents with needs (e.g., mobility aids, meals, daily living tasks)
• Collaborate with Registered Nurse and Care Manager
• Provide physical and mental stimulation through activities
• Administer medications as required
• Maintain accurate care records and build strong team relationships

Qualifications

• Level 2 Diploma/SNVQ in Adult Social Care or equivalent (preferred)
• Willingness to work towards Level 3 qualification
• Experience in person-centred care planning and dementia care
• Positive energy, good communication, and time management

Benefits

• Paid Enhanced DBS/PVG
• Hourly rate subject to experience and qualifications
• Free uniform
• Nutritious meals during shifts of eight hours or more
• Company pension scheme
• 28 days annual leave inclusive of bank holidays
• Group life assurance cover
• Wagestream - financial wellbeing and flexible access to pay
• Award-winning learning and development and support to achieve qualifications
• GP online service for you and your children under 16
• Colleague discounts on 1600+ high street partners
• Wellbeing support with confidential resources
