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 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 the opportunity to give something back to those people.
We are currently looking for an enthusiastic and committed Care Assistant to join our care home team. Whether providing long-term, short-term, convalescence, respite, or palliative care, our focus is on delivering the highest quality service at all times.
As a Care Assistant, under the guidance of a Registered Nurse, you will be responsible for the physical, emotional, and social well-being of our residents. Your duties include assisting residents with personal care activities such as washing, personal hygiene, dressing, and meals.
You will deliver care that genuinely comes from the heart, ensuring residents maintain their dignity and individuality. You may help someone with limited mobility learn to use an aid, offer emotional support to a confused or distressed resident, or provide end-of-life care, always prioritizing their well-being.
Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility. It is essential that you can recognize signs of abuse, harm, or neglect and know the appropriate actions to take. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training relevant to their role and to seek advice and report concerns, escalating issues if necessary.
