Overview
As a Senior Care Assistant at HC One, kindness is at the core of everything you do. You will contribute to Dementia, Nursing, Residential and Specialist care across our homes, understanding that residents are people with their own stories. You will plan and implement care that gives residents a real sense of security, dignity and independence, get to know residents and their families, and help ensure we deliver truly personalised care plans. You will lead a team of Care Assistants, maintain the highest standards of care, and influence the rest of the team. You may support residents with daily activities, such as assisting with meals or helping family communications, always with kindness. You will work with the Registered Nurse and Care Manager to provide essential physical and mental stimulation through activities, as well as administering medication. One of your key responsibilities is to maintain accurate records and build strong relationships with the team.
Ideally, you will 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 is your positive energy and ability to get along with people, your understanding of good record keeping, time management, and your considerate, kind communication with residents and co-workers.
About HC-One
At HC-One, kindness is more than a word. It is a belief that caring for people means caring about what matters most to them so we can support them to lead their best possible life.
To provide the kindest possible care there are five qualities that everyone who is part of the HC-One team shows up with, supports and coaches in each other every day. We call these five qualities Kindness the HC-One Way: We are curious, compassionate, creative yet practical, courageous in supporting residents to live the life they want, and we can always be counted on.
We champion inclusivity, fostering a workplace where everyone feels valued and can be themselves. Our diverse and inclusive workforce allows us to learn from each other and better represent the communities we serve.
