As a Senior Care Assistant at HC One, Kindness will be at the core of everything you do. It touches upon every aspect of our Dementia, Nursing, Residential and Specialist care homes. Every single person who works here understands that our residents are people just like them with their own stories to tell. And, by joining us, you'll have a wonderful opportunity to give something back to those people.
Main duties of the job
For you, that will mean planning and implementing the kind of care that will give our residents a real sense of security, dignity and independence. You'll be a real influence on the rest of the care team. And, whether you're 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 a sense of kindness above anything else.
Job responsibilities
Please note that this is a full-time role working 42 hours per week, day shifts only, full flexibility is required. As a Senior Care Assistant at Bowbridge Court, you will be responsible for maintaining the highest standards of care and you'll be a real influence on the rest of the team. You will get to know our residents and their families, helping to ensure we deliver truly personalised care plans. You will be involved in providing essential physical and mental stimulation through a range of social and recreational activities, as well as administering medication.
One of your key responsibilities as Senior Care Assistant is to maintain accurate records of the job you do and build strong relationships with the rest of your team. Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility, and therefore it is important that you are able to recognise the signs which may indicate possible abuse, harm or neglect in its different forms and know what to do if there are any concerns.
