Please note that this is a full-time role working day shifts only -
44 hours per week. Full flexibility is required. 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. And, by joining us, 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. 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 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.
Ideally, you’ll have completed a Level 2 Diploma S/NVQ in
Health and Social Care and are prepared to work towards Level 3
qualification in Health and Social Care or equivalent, a background in
person centered care planning and knowledge of caring for people with
dementia. 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. Safeguarding is everyone’s
responsibility and therefore it is important that you are able to
recognise the signs which may indicate possible abuse, harm or neglect
in its different forms and know what to do if there are any concerns.
All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training
appropriate to their role and to undertake additional training in
associated areas. You also have the ability to seek appropriate advice
and report concerns, including escalation if action is not
taken.
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:
