About the Role

As a Healthcare Assistant, you'll support vulnerable individuals in their own homes, helping them to live safely, independently, and with dignity. You'll assist with a range of tasks, from clinical monitoring to overnight comfort and essential care routines.

Meet the Client: In this highly rewarding role, you will be part of a supportive overnight 2:1 care package dedicated to a 30-year-old, non-verbal individual with complex needs. They have a full understanding of their surroundings. Your presence ensures they remain safe, comfortable, and perfectly cared for throughout the night!

Benefits:

  • Top-Tier Training: Free clinical and theory training from experienced nurses to support your skills and development.

  • Career Progression: Fantastic career development opportunities to climb the healthcare ladder.

  • Unrivalled Support: Ongoing backing from our dedicated Office Team, Registered Managers, and Clinical Nursing staff.

  • Financial Flexibility: Weekly pay with both PAYE and Umbrella options available, plus Holiday Pay (PAYE).

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Overnight personal care and pressure area care (repositioning, toileting, comfort checks)

  • Mobility and manual handling support during night routines

  • Specialised Complex Care: Managing overnight complex care tasks including Tracheostomy monitoring and PEG feeding (full, expert training provided!)

  • Companionship, emotional support, and maintaining a peaceful, safe overnight environment

  • Medication support (where trained)

  • Following care plans, maintaining accurate overnight records, and reporting changes or concerns

Who We're Looking For

  • Experience: A minimum of 6 months of professional UK Care experience is essential.

  • Complex Care: Tracheostomy and PEG feeding experience is preferred, but not mandatory-we provide full, paid training!

  • Availability: Ready to commit to a full-time schedule across 5 available night shifts, including weekends.

  • Compliance: Right to work in the UK, an enhanced DBS (or willingness to obtain one), and an up-to-date CV showing a full work history.

  • Note: A full UK driving license is preferred for client mobility vehicle access during daytime handover or occasional outings, though reliable night commuters are welcome to apply.
