About The Role

The care sector is such a rich and rewarding place to work. There is variety in your work and in the roles available - you don't have to be a carer to make a meaningful difference in our care homes. We want the kindest and most resilient people to come and support our residents - no two days will be the same and you will receive the learning and development you need to thrive.

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 HC-One, where we have night vacancies, you'll have a wonderful opportunity to give something back to those people.

For you, that will mean planning and implementing the kind of care that will give our residents a real sense of security, dignity and independence. When working nights you will get to know our residents and their families - helping to ensure we deliver truly personalised care plans. Leading a team of carers, you will be responsible for maintaining the highest standards of care and you'll be 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, above anything else. 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 of the job you do and build strong relationships with the rest of your team.

Become a Key worker and make a difference.

Hourly rate is subject to experience and qualifications.

About You

Ideally, you'll have an S/NVQ 2 or 3 Diploma in Health & Social Care, a background in person centered care planning, knowledge of caring for people with dementia and be able to work night shifts. What's essential, though, is your brilliant positive energy and natural ability to get along with people. You'll know what good record keeping looks like and be able to manage your time effectively. And, whenever you communicate with a resident or co-worker, you'll be truly considerate and kind.

Well, after all, it's just in your nature.

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 and throughout your career as a Senior Care Assistant we will invest in you and you will enjoy additional support and benefits including:
