At HC-One, we are looking for enthusiastic and committed Care Assistants to join our Flex Force team.
If you’re looking to earn extra money while gaining valuable experience in the care sector, Flex Force is the perfect solution. With contracted hours and guaranteed set pay each month, you’ll also enjoy the freedom to choose shifts that fit around your family life or other commitments. Shifts will be offered across our care homes in the Sunderland area, providing you with a variety of opportunities and flexibility to shape your working week.
Shifts are scheduled between Monday and Sunday and may not always be consecutive, including days, nights, and weekends. Flexibility is key to being a Flex Force Care Assistant, as it ensures you can adapt to the needs of our homes while still maintaining control over your schedule.
The cluster homes include:
* Falstone Court and Manor - SR6 9NQ
* Northview Lodge - SR5 3AF

About The Role
As a Flexible 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 single 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 something back to those people.
Whether providing long- or short-term care, including respite and palliative care, our focus is always on providing the kindest and highest quality care.
Delivering a level of care that truly comes from the heart. It’s about making sure our residents never lose their dignity or sense of individuality as you get involved in general activities within the care home. And, whether you’re helping someone with limited mobility to learn to use an aid, offering emotional support to a confused or distressed resident, or delivering care at the end of their life, you’ll always have their well-being in mind above anything else.
Duties are varied but will include:
* Supporting residents with personal care activities such as washing, personal hygiene, dressing, and assisting with meals
* Helping residents with limited mobility
* Taking responsibility for the well-being of residents on and off site
A driving license with access to a vehicle would be advantageous but is not essential.
Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. It is important that you can recognize the signs indicating possible abuse, harm, or neglect in its different forms and know what to do if there are any concerns. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training appropriate to their role and undertake additional training in related areas. You also have the ability to seek advice and report concerns, including escalation if necessary.
