Care Assistant

At HC-One, kindness is at the heart of everything we do. It shapes every aspect of our care, and everyone who works here understands that our residents are people just like them, each with their own stories to tell.

By joining HC-One, you'll have the chance to give something back while making a real difference to people's lives. We're looking for an enthusiastic and committed Care Assistant to join the team at Millcroft, where our focus is always on delivering the highest quality service.

As a Care Assistant, you'll take responsibility for the physical, emotional and social wellbeing of our residents. This includes assisting with personal care activities such as washing, dressing, personal hygiene and meals, as well as supporting general activities within the home.

You'll provide care that truly comes from the heart — ensuring residents never lose their dignity or individuality. Whether you're helping someone with limited mobility to use an aid, offering comfort to a resident who is distressed, or providing compassionate end-of-life care, you'll always put their wellbeing first.

Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility in adult social care 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.

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.

Our diverse workforce helps us learn from one another and better reflect the communities we serve.

We are also enhancing the way we support residents through digital care planning. This technology is helping us streamline care, improve outcomes, and make daily tasks more efficient. As we continue to grow our digital capabilities, we're looking for team members who are comfortable with technology—or open to learning. You'll be supported every step of the way.

We care about our colleagues and are committed to supporting your personal and professional development. From the moment you receive a job offer, we aim for the quickest possible turnaround to get you started, with full support every step of the way.
