We are passionate about ensuring that our current and future colleagues can be their true selves, and that our workforce represents the communities we serve. We prioritize inclusive working practices and invite applicants from all backgrounds into our HC-One family. We are committed to providing a quick turnaround from the point of making you a job offer to you starting with us on day one.
As a Senior Care Assistant, you'll do so with a sense of kindness, above anything else. Assisting the Registered Nurse and Care Manager, you will be involved in providing essential physical and mental stimulation through a range of social and recreational activities, as well as administering medication. One of your key responsibilities is to maintain accurate records of your work and build strong relationships with your team.
Ideally, you'll have completed a Level 2 Diploma S/NVQ in Adult Care and are prepared to work towards Level 3 qualification in Adult Care or equivalent. A background in person-centered care planning and knowledge of caring for people with dementia are also desirable. What's essential, though, is your positive energy and natural ability to get along with people. You should know what good record keeping looks like and be able to manage your time effectively. When communicating with residents or colleagues, you'll be considerate and kind.
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. We embody five qualities we call the HC-One Way: curiosity, compassion, creativity, courage, and inclusivity. We support and coach each other daily to uphold these qualities and foster a workplace where everyone feels valued and can be themselves. Our diverse and inclusive workforce helps us better represent the communities we serve.
