Senior Care Assistant

HC-One Radcliffe, England, United Kingdom About The Role This is a Full Time Days role, 33hrs per week, working over a seven day rota. 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. Planning and implementing the kind of care that gives our residents a real sense of security, dignity and independence will be a key part of your role. 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 kindness above everything 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 will be 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 Adult Social Care and be prepared to work towards a Level 3 qualification in Adult Social Care or an equivalent. A background in person‑centred care planning and knowledge of caring for people with dementia are also important. 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. About HC-One At HC-One, kindness is more than a word.
