Care Assistant

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 need to be passionate about delivering the highest quality care to our service users, building positive relationships with them and their family whilst empowering them to live as independently as possible within the comfort of their own home.

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

Our service user is a male in his 50s who lives with his loving family in Norwich. He requires support with his complex care needs on a 1:1 basis throughout the night.

At home he loves watching TV, especially his favourite cartoons, as well as listening to music and reading. He is a nature loving man who enjoys going out for walks and admiring the wildlife and the beauty of his garden.

We are looking for staff who can commit to his continuing rehabilitation and physiotherapy, whilst supporting him to access activities which are meaningful to him.

Throughout the night you will provide support with his personal care needs, repositioning, clinical observations and attending to his clinical needs when required. You will provide a safe and calming environment to promote a restful nights sleep.
