Overview
Please note that this is a full-time role working 44 hours per week, with flexibility to work both day and night shifts required from 8am - 8pm or 8pm - 8am.
At HC-One, kindness is at the heart of everything we do across our Dementia, Nursing, Residential and Specialist care homes. Residents are people with their own stories to tell, and by joining us you'll have the chance to give something back while helping them live with dignity and purpose. We are looking for an enthusiastic and committed Care Assistant to join our team. Working under the guidance of a Registered Nurse, you will support the physical, emotional and social wellbeing of our residents. This includes personal care such as washing, dressing, hygiene and meals, as well as helping with daily activities in the home. You will deliver care that comes from the heart - making sure residents never lose their individuality. Whether you\'re supporting someone with limited mobility, offering comfort to a resident who is distressed, or providing compassionate end-of-life care, you\'ll always put their wellbeing first.
Safeguarding is everyone\'s responsibility in adult social care and therefore it is important that you are able to recognise the signs which may indicate possible abuse, harm or neglect in its different forms and know what to do if there are any concerns. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training appropriate to their role and to undertake additional training in associated areas. You also have the ability to seek appropriate advice and report concerns, including escalation if action is not taken.

We are enhancing digital care planning and provide support for colleagues as we grow our digital capabilities.
