About The Role
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 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.
Right now, we’re looking for an enthusiastic and committed Care Assistant to join the team at our care home. Whether we're providing long or short-term, convalescence, respite or palliative care, our focus is on providing 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. This includes assisting with personal care activities such as washing, personal hygiene, dressing, and helping with meals.
You will deliver care that comes from the heart, ensuring residents retain their dignity and individuality. Your involvement may include helping those with limited mobility to use aids, offering emotional support to distressed residents, or providing end-of-life care, always prioritizing their well-being.
Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility. 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 to undertake additional training as needed. You should also be able to seek advice and report concerns, including escalation if necessary.
