Senior Care Assistant in Rotherham

This is a night role. 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 us, you’ll have a wonderful opportunity to give something back to those people.

Your main responsibilities will include planning and implementing 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 to help 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 will influence 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 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, and maintaining accurate records of your work.

Qualifications: Ideally, you have completed a Level 2 Diploma S/NVQ in Adult Social Care and are prepared to work towards a Level 3 qualification, have a background in person‑centred care planning and knowledge of caring for people with dementia. You must also have excellent record‑keeping skills, time‑management ability and a positive, considerate attitude when communicating with residents or co‑workers.

About HC‑One: 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. We champion inclusivity and foster a workplace where everyone feels valued and can be themselves. Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility in adult social care. You will recognise signs of possible abuse, harm or neglect and know how to act if concerns arise. All colleagues receive appropriate safeguarding training and additional training in associated areas as required.
