Overview
In your role as a Care Assistant at HC-One, you will value kindness above all. It touches upon our Dementia, Nursing, Residential and Specialist care homes. We are looking for an enthusiastic and committed Care Assistant to join the team at our care home. Whether we are providing long or short-term, convalescence, respite or palliative care, our focus is on providing the highest quality service at all times.

You will assist 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. 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.
