About The Role

Please note: We have opportunities for both Days and Nights, hours are 8-8 working on a seven day rota which would include working weekends.

Happy to discuss this at interview stage.

In your role as a Care Assistant at HC-One, you’ll value kindness above all. 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.

By joining HC-One you’ll have a wonderful opportunity to give something back to those people.

Right now, we’re looking for an enthusiastic and committed Care Assistant to join the team at our care home. Whether we're providing long or short-term, convalescence, respite or palliative care, our focus is on providing the highest quality service at all times.

As a Care Assistant under the guidance of a Registered Nurse, you will take responsibility for the physical and emotional well-being and social needs of our residents. This includes assisting residents with personal care activities such as washing, personal hygiene, dressing, and assisting with meals.

Delivering a level of care that truly comes from the heart is essential. It’s about making sure our residents never lose their dignity or sense of individuality as you get involved in general activities within the care home. Whether you’re helping someone with limited mobility to learn to use an aid, offering emotional support to a confused or distressed resident, or delivering care to someone at the end of their life, you’ll always have their well-being in mind above anything else.

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. It is important that you are able to recognize 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 should also have the ability to seek appropriate advice and report concerns, including escalation if action is not taken.
