Overview
Join to apply for the Senior Care Assistant role at HC-One. 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. Our residents are people with their own stories, and you will 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 positive influence on the rest of the team. You’ll assist with activities, support meal times, and communicate with residents’ families as needed, always with kindness. You will work with the Registered Nurse and Care Manager to provide essential physical and mental stimulation through social and recreational activities, and you may administer medication as required.
You will maintain accurate records of your work and build strong relationships with your team.
