Job summary

We are looking for experienced and committed Healthcare Assistants with an interactive approach, who are eager to enhance their skills in the complex care sector. While prior complex care experience is beneficial, it is not a requirement as full bespoke clinical training will be provided.

You will provide comprehensive day support for a vibrant gentleman who has complex care needs and a fantastic sense of humour.

He has a passion for sport and enjoys watching all sports on T.V such as Football, boxing, UFC, and he is a massive Manchester United Fan.

Main duties of the job

Throughout the day you will provide support with all daily living tasks such as washing, dressing, mobility and attending to his clinical care needs when required. You will assist him in enjoying his hobbies, interests, and offering support for him to live a dignified, comfortable, and laughter-filled life.

Our service user has specifically requested for female staff to work on their team.

We have the following shifts available;

  • Part Days- 2 shifts per week
  • 7:00am 7:00pm
  • Alternate Weekends are needed for this position

Take a look at our pay rates!

Weekdays: £13.00 per hour (Approx. £156.00 per 12-hour shift)

Weekends: £14.00 per hour (Approx. £168 per 12-hour shift)

This is a personally rewarding role where you can build on your clinical skills and experience, whilst delivering exceptional care and support to our service user and really making an impact on his day-to-day life.

If you are a dedicated caregiver who loves to bring joy to others and has a passion for providing high-quality care, we would love to hear from you.
