Overview
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 wellbeing and social needs of our residents. You will assist residents with personal care activities such as washing, personal hygiene, dressing and assisting with meals. Delivering care that comes from the heart, you will help ensure 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 will keep their wellbeing at the forefront of all you do. Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility, and you should be able to recognise signs that may indicate abuse, harm or neglect and know what to do if there are concerns. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training appropriate to their role and to undertake additional training in related areas. You should also be able to seek appropriate advice and report concerns, including escalation if action is not taken.
