About The Role
As a Senior Care Assistant at HC-One, kindness will be at the core of everything you do. It touches every aspect of our Dementia, Nursing, Residential and Specialist care homes. Every resident is a person with their own story, and by joining HC-One you’ll have a wonderful opportunity to give something back to them.
For you, that will mean planning and delivering care that gives 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. As a Senior Care Assistant, you will lead a team of Care Assistants, maintain the highest standards of care and influence the rest of the team. Whether you are 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, you’ll do so with kindness at the forefront.
Working with the Registered Nurse and Care Manager, you will be involved in providing essential physical and mental stimulation through social and recreational activities, as well as administering medication.
One of your key responsibilities is to maintain accurate records of the work you do and build strong relationships with your team.
