Senior Care Assistant

HC-One Wakefield, England, United Kingdom

As a Senior Care Assistant at HC One, kindness will be at the core of everything you do. 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. You will lead a team of Care Assistants, maintaining the highest standards of care and influencing 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 will do so with a sense of kindness above everything else. You will assist the Registered Nurse and Care Manager, providing essential physical and mental stimulation through a range of social and recreational activities and administering medication.

In addition you will maintain accurate records of the work you do and build strong relationships with the rest of your team. Ideally you will have completed a Level 2 Diploma NVQ in Adult Social Care, be prepared to work towards a Level 3 qualification in Adult Social Care or equivalent, and have a background in person‑centred care planning and knowledge of caring for people with dementia.

Your brilliant positive energy, natural ability to get along with people and competent record‑keeping will be essential.

At HC‑One, kindness is more than a word. It is a belief that caring for people means caring about what matters most to them so we can support them to lead their best possible life.
