About the role
Welcome Bonus £1000. Night Shift available working 3 on 3 off rotation 8 to 8.
As a Senior Care Assistant at HC One, kindness will be at the core of everything you do. It touches every aspect of our Dementia, Nursing, Residential and Specialist care homes. You will plan and implement the kind of care that gives 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 maintain the highest standards of care and act as a real influence on the rest of the team. You will show someone how to use a walking frame, help someone at the end of their life to eat a meal or talk to a resident’s family on the phone – always with a sense of kindness above everything else.
Assisting the Registered Nurse and Care Manager, you will provide essential physical and mental stimulation through a range of social and recreational activities, as well as administer 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 will have completed a Level 2 Diploma S/NVQ in Adult Social Care and be prepared to work towards Level 3 qualification. A background in person‑centred care planning and knowledge of caring for people with dementia is essential, as is a brilliant positive energy, natural ability to get along with people, good record‑keeping skills and effective time‑management. You will communicate with residents and co‑workers in a truly considerate and kind manner.
Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility in adult social care. You will recognise signs of possible abuse, harm or neglect, know what to do if concerns arise, attend safeguarding training appropriate to your role and report concerns, including escalating if action is not taken.
