About The Role

As a Night Shift Senior Care Assistant at HC One, kindness is at the core of everything you do. It influences all aspects of our Dementia, Nursing, Residential, and Specialist care homes. Every team member understands that our residents are individuals with their own stories, and joining us offers a wonderful opportunity to give back to them.

Your responsibilities will include planning and delivering care that promotes residents' security, dignity, and independence. You will get to know residents and their families to help deliver personalized care plans. Leading a team of Care Assistants, you will uphold high standards of care and positively influence your team.

A key responsibility is maintaining accurate records and building strong team relationships.

Ideally, you will have completed a Level 2 Diploma S/NVQ in Adult Care and be willing to pursue Level 3 or equivalent. Experience in person-centered care planning and caring for people with dementia is desirable.
