OverviewIn your role as a Care Assistant at HC-One, you’ll value kindness above all. Our homes care for Dementia, Nursing, Residential and Specialist care residents, who are people with their own stories to tell.

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.

Responsibilities

Under the guidance of a Registered Nurse, take responsibility for the physical and emotional wellbeing and social needs of residents.

Assist residents with personal care activities such as washing, personal hygiene, dressing and assisting with meals.

Deliver care that respects residents’ dignity and individuality, and support them in general activities within the care home.

Support residents with limited mobility to learn to use aids, offer emotional support to distressed residents, or provide care at the end of life, with wellbeing of residents in mind.

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility: recognise signs of abuse, harm or neglect, attend safeguarding training relevant to your role, and report concerns or escalate if action is not taken.

About HC-OneAt HC-One, kindness is more than a word — it’s a way of life. We believe caring for people means caring about what matters most to them, so we can support them to live their best possible lives.

To provide the kindest possible care, everyone at HC-One brings and nurtures five key qualities — what we call Kindness The HC-One Way:

We are curious — asking questions, seeking to understand.

We are compassionate — walking in the shoes of others.

We are creative — finding practical ways to make things happen.

We are courageous — supporting residents to live the life they choose.

We are dependable — people can always count on us.

We champion inclusivity and a diverse workforce; we welcome applicants from all backgrounds and prioritise inclusive working practices across everything we do. We are also enhancing the way we support residents through digital care planning; you’ll be supported as we grow this capability.

We care about our colleagues and are committed to your personal and professional development — from the moment you receive a job offer, with clear career pathways, continuous professional development, and postgraduate programmes. HC-One will invest in your growth and opportunities at regional and national levels.
