Job description

About The Role

As a Trainee Nursing Assistant at HC-One, you will be a role model as you lead by example to embody the quality of supreme kindness in every aspect of your work in our Memory Care, Nursing, Residential and Specialist care homes. Everyone who works here understands that our Residents are people just like them with their own stories to tell. By joining HC-One you’ll have a wonderful opportunity to give something back to those people.

For you, that will mean making sure our residents’ care planning arrangements are delivered impeccably. We want to offer our residents a sense of choice and independence and you’ll be the person to ensure we do. And, whether you’re taking up a nursing task delegated to you, reporting an accident or spending time with someone who’s demonstrating symptoms of dementia, you’ll always have Resident wellbeing in mind above anything else.

About You

Senior Care Assistants – have you wondered what your next career move is? Are you looking to develop your skills and knowledge? Would you like to earn more money?

If so, HC-One has the perfect career opportunity for you.

We have created a Trainee Nursing Assistant role with an outstanding and refreshing development program that will upskill and train Senior Care Assistants to undertake more responsibility and develop the skills needed to be a Nursing Assistant. This role will assist in tasks such as administering medicines, care of wounds, catheter care and other direct clinical tasks, under the supervision and guidance of the qualified nurse.

What’s also great is you will get a salary increase once you have completed your program.

This is what you need to qualify for the development program:

1. Level 3 Diploma S/NVQ in Adult Social Care (or working towards)
2. Minimum 2 years’ experience in Health & Social Care where you have been a Senior Carer or a similar position with leadership responsibilities especially around administering medicines and leading a shift.
3. Knowledge and understanding of the person-led care planning process and the relevant legislative and regulatory requirements.

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility and therefore it is important that you are able to recognise the 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.
