At HC-One, we are looking for enthusiastic and committed Care Assistants to join our Flex Force team.
If you're looking to earn extra money while gaining valuable experience in the care sector, Flex Force is the perfect solution. With contracted hours and guaranteed set pay each month, you'll also enjoy the freedom to choose shifts that fit around your family life or other commitments. Shifts will be offered across our care homes in the South Essex area, providing you with a variety of opportunities and flexibility to shape your working week.
Shifts are scheduled between Monday and Sunday and may not always be consecutive, including days, nights, and weekends. As a Flex Force Care Assistant, you'll travel between a cluster of our homes, which is an essential and expected part of the role. Flexibility is key, as it allows you to support the unique needs of each home while still keeping control over your schedule.
The homes include Godden Lodge, SS7 3GL, Oaklands, SS16 6SX, The Hornchurch, RM12 6RJ & Admirals Reach, CM1 2GA.
About the Role
As a Flexible 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.
Whether providing long‑ or short‑term care that includes respite and palliative care, our focus is always on providing the kindest and highest quality care. Delivering a level of care that truly comes from the heart. It's about ensuring our residents never lose their dignity or sense of individuality as you get involved in general activities within the care home. And, 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'll always have their well‑being in mind above anything else.
We are also enhancing the way we support residents through digital care planning. This technology is helping us streamline care, improve outcomes, and make daily tasks more efficient. As we continue to grow our digital capabilities, we’re looking for team members who are comfortable with technology – or open to learning. You’ll be supported every step of the way.
