Overview
As a Senior Care Assistant at HC One, Kindness will be at the core of everything you do. 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 us, you'll have a wonderful opportunity to give something back to those people. For you, that will mean planning and implementing the kind of care that will give our residents a real sense of security, dignity and independence. You will get to know our residents and their families, helping to ensure we deliver truly personalised care plans.
You will lead a team of Care Assistants and will be responsible for maintaining the highest standards of care, influencing the rest of the team. You may assist with showing someone how to use a walking frame, helping someone at the end of their life to eat a meal, or talking to a resident's family on the phone, always with kindness as the priority.
Working with the Registered Nurse and Care Manager, you will be involved in providing essential physical and mental stimulation through a range of social and recreational activities, as well as administering medication. A key responsibility is to maintain accurate records of the work you do and to build strong relationships with the rest of your team.
Ideally, you'll have completed a Level 2 Diploma S/NVQ in Adult Care and be prepared to work towards Level 3 qualification in Adult Care or equivalent, with a background in person-centred care planning and knowledge of caring for people with dementia. What's essential, though, is your brilliant positive energy and natural ability to get along with people. You'll know what good record keeping looks like and be able to manage your time effectively. You will communicate with residents and co-workers with thoughtfulness and kindness.
We currently have full-time days (33 hours a week) and full-time nights (44 hours a week) available.
