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 the HC-One team shows up with, supports and coaches in each other every day. These are captured in Kindness the HC-One Way: we are curious, compassionate, creative, courageous, 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 helps us learn from each other and better represent the communities we serve.

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. You should be able to recognise signs of possible abuse, harm or neglect and know what to do if concerns arise. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training and to undertake additional training as appropriate. You also have the ability to seek appropriate advice and report concerns, including escalation if action is not taken.

We provide full training and offer a wide range of benefits to support your physical and psychological wellbeing, including:

• Paid Enhanced DBS/PVG
• Hourly rate subject to experience and qualifications
• Free uniform
• Nutritious meal during shifts of eight hours or more
