Senior Care Assistant, West Midlands

This is a full‑time vacancy. 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.

As a Senior Care Assistant you will plan and implement care that gives our residents a real sense of security, dignity and independence. You will learn our residents and their families, helping to ensure we deliver truly personalised care plans. Leading a care team, you will maintain the highest standards of care and influence the rest of the team. You will also assist the Registered Nurse and Care Manager in providing essential physical and mental stimulation through social and recreational activities and in administering medication.

One of your key responsibilities is maintaining accurate records of the care you provide and building strong relationships with your team.

Ideally, you have completed a Level 2 Diploma S/NVQ in Adult Social Care and are prepared to work towards a Level 3 qualification or equivalent, with a background in person‑centered care planning and knowledge of caring for people with dementia. You should bring brilliant positive energy, natural ability to get along with people, good record‑keeping skills, and effective time‑management.

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 to support them to lead their best possible life.

We honour five qualities: curious, compassionate, creative, courageous, and counted on. We champion inclusivity, fostering 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, attend safeguarding training, and have the ability to seek advice and report concerns.
