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 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 back to those people.
We are currently looking for an enthusiastic and committed Care Assistant to join our care home team. Whether providing long-term, 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 our residents. Your duties include assisting residents with personal care activities such as washing, hygiene, dressing, and meals. You will deliver care that comes from the heart, ensuring residents maintain their dignity and individuality by engaging in activities within the care home.
Your role may involve helping residents with limited mobility to use aids, offering emotional support to confused or distressed residents, or providing 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 the appropriate actions to take. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training relevant to their role and undertake additional training as needed.
