Job description
Care Assistant at HC-One, Holmfirth — a hands-on, part-time permanent role on the late shift (23:00–10:00) working a 3-on, 3-off rota. You’ll work under the guidance of a Registered Nurse to support residents’ physical, emotional and social wellbeing: personal care (washing, dressing and hygiene), meals, daily activities and compassionate support at end of life when needed. Safeguarding is central to the role and you’ll receive relevant training and clear reporting routes. The hourly rate is £12.60–£13.10 (subject to experience and qualifications), and applicants must have the full right to work in the UK. If you’re someone who cares deeply, is reliable, and is comfortable with—or keen to learn—digital care planning, this role offers purposeful, practical work that respects each resident’s individuality.
HC-One offers real support for colleagues, with paid enhanced DBS/PVG, free uniform, a nutritious meal on shifts of eight hours or more, a company pension, 28 days’ annual leave (including bank holidays) and Wagestream for flexible pay. You’ll also have award-winning learning and development, GP online access (for you and children under 16), colleague discounts, an Employee Assistance Programme and generous recognition schemes and referral rewards. The predictable 3-on, 3-off rota and clear training pathways make this especially attractive for women balancing caring responsibilities with a meaningful career.
