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 working here understands that our residents are people with their own stories to tell. Joining HC-One offers a wonderful opportunity to give back to these individuals.
We are currently seeking an enthusiastic and committed Care Assistant to join our team. Whether providing long or 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 residents. Your duties include assisting residents with personal care activities such as washing, hygiene, dressing, and meals. You will deliver care with compassion, ensuring residents retain their dignity and individuality, engaging in activities within the care home, supporting those with limited mobility, providing emotional support, and caring for residents at the end of their lives.
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 staff are required to attend safeguarding training relevant to their role and undertake additional training as needed. You should be capable of seeking advice and reporting concerns, including escalation if necessary.
