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 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.
Right now, we're looking for an enthusiastic and committed Care Assistant to join the team at our care home. Whether we're providing long or short-term, convalescence, respite or palliative care, our focus is on providing the highest quality service at all times.
As a Care Assistant under the guidance of a Registered Nurse, you'll be responsible for the physical, emotional, and social well-being of our residents. This includes assisting with personal care activities such as washing, personal hygiene, dressing, and helping with meals. You'll deliver care that comes from the heart, ensuring residents maintain their dignity and individuality through involvement in activities within the care home.
You may help residents with limited mobility using aids, provide emotional support to confused or distressed residents, or deliver end-of-life care, always prioritizing their well-being. Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility; therefore, you should be able to recognize signs of abuse, harm, or neglect and know how to respond appropriately. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training relevant to their role and undertake additional related training.
About HC-One: We believe that caring for people means caring about what matters most to them, supporting them to live their best lives. We foster five key qualities—curiosity, compassion, creativity, courage, and dependability—what we call "Kindness the HC-One Way." We champion inclusivity, fostering a workplace where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to be themselves. Our diverse workforce helps us better serve our communities.
We are enhancing our support for residents through digital care planning, streamlining care and improving outcomes. As we grow our digital capabilities, we're seeking team members comfortable with technology or willing to learn, with full support provided.
We care about our colleagues and are committed to supporting your development. From the moment you receive a job offer, we aim for a quick start with full support, clear career pathways, continuous professional development, and postgraduate programs—opening opportunities at regional and national levels.
