Was it your love of learning and the opportunity to work closely with multi-professional teams in a field that is constantly evolving? Whatever your reason, at HC One, the Kind Care Company, we can offer you a career where your kindness will be truly rewarded. Whether you are at the start of your exciting career journey or have years of experience as a registered nurse, working within a care home environment can be incredibly rewarding. It embodies the practice of nursing while building meaningful, long-lasting relationships with Residents and their loved ones. We are looking for kind nurses to join our dedicated care home teams across the country, offering enhanced rates of pay that progress with your experience alongside a wide range of attractive company benefits.
Main duties of the job
As a nurse at HC-One, you will build on your existing skill set, practicing in a nurse-led environment, developing complex decision-making and collaborative skills. You will make a difference to our Residents at a time in their life when they may feel the most vulnerable, and they will look to you to guide and support them in life-changing decisions, which is a humbling and rewarding part of the role. You will be a Registered Nurse with a valid Pin number and will understand your commitment to your profession through the standards of practice set by the NMC.
About us
At HC-One, our purpose is to support those in our care to lead their best lives. As the Kind Care Company, it is our mission to provide the kindest support and care to Residents living in our care homes, as we strive to be the first-choice care provider for Families, our Colleagues, and Commissioners in each of the communities that we serve.
Job responsibilities
Meadow Bank care home has provided care for people living with dementia for many years, and for over 2 years, Sabrina House has provided HC-One's first Specialist Dementia Care Community (SDCC), following considerable investment in the layout and design of the living environment, workforce, L&D, and assessment documentation.
Sabrina House SDCC is a therapeutic care setting that demonstrates that quality of care and quality of life are of equal significance. It provides a bespoke low-arousal environment embracing space and calming de-escalation rooms, along with enhanced staffing, specialist roles, and training for Colleagues in positive approaches to behavior, psychosocial therapies, and de-escalation interventions. The therapeutic ambition will be that people will be understood as having needs to be met rather than being defined by their condition, resulting in a quality of life previously denied them.
