About The Role
As a Senior Care Assistant at HC One, kindness will be at the core of everything you do. It influences every aspect of our Dementia, Nursing, Residential, and Specialist care homes. Every team member understands that our residents are individuals with their own stories, and by joining us, you'll have a wonderful opportunity to give back to these individuals.
Your responsibilities will include planning and delivering care that promotes residents' security, dignity, and independence. You'll build relationships with residents and their families to ensure personalized care plans. Leading a team of Care Assistants, you will uphold high standards of care and influence your team positively. Your tasks may involve demonstrating how to use mobility aids, assisting at mealtimes, or communicating with families, always with kindness.
You will assist the Registered Nurse and Care Manager in providing physical and mental stimulation through social and recreational activities, as well as administering medication. Maintaining accurate records and fostering strong team relationships are key responsibilities.
Ideally, you will have completed a Level 2 Diploma in Adult Care or equivalent, with experience in person-centered care planning and dementia care. What's essential is your positive energy, ability to connect with people, good record-keeping skills, effective time management, and a considerate, kind communication style.
