The Applewood - NEW RESIDENTIAL HOME OPENING 2025
Please note that this is a full-time role working NIGHT shifts 8pm - 8am, 38.5 hours per week 3 on and 3 off shifts.
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. By joining us, you’ll have a wonderful opportunity to give something back to those people.
Your responsibilities will include planning and implementing care that provides our residents a real sense of security, dignity, and independence. You will get to know our residents and their families, helping to ensure we deliver truly personalised care plans. Leading a team of Care Assistants, you will be responsible for maintaining the highest standards of care and being a real influence on the rest of the team.
Whether you are 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. Assisting the Registered Nurse and Care Manager, 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 and build strong relationships with the rest of your team. Ideally, you’ll have completed a Level 2 Diploma S/NVQ in Adult Care and are prepared to work towards Level 3 qualification in Adult Care or equivalent, with a background in person-centered care planning and knowledge of caring for people with dementia. Your positive energy and natural ability to get along with people are essential. You’ll know what good record keeping looks like and manage your time effectively. Whenever you communicate with a resident or co-worker, you’ll be truly considerate and kind.
Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility, and it is important that you can recognize signs of possible abuse, harm, or neglect 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 associated areas.
We’ll provide full training, so it’s a great opportunity to learn something new. In return, you will enjoy access to a huge variety of benefits and services to support your physical and psychological well-being, including:
* Paid Enhanced DBS/PVG
* Hourly rate is subject to experience and qualifications
