Key responsibilities and qualifications
Joining our team means becoming part of a compassionate and supportive service, dedicated to delivering high-quality care. You will provide community-based personal care as part of a short‑term emergency bridging service, visiting patients at points of care crisis and supporting patients and families with both their emotional and practical needs within the comfort of their own homes.
This involves ad‑hoc interventions such as occasional last offices, skill‑sharing for families/other care staff and transitional support following recent discharges from the hospice inpatient unit and local hospitals.
To succeed in the role, you will be compassionate, flexible, reliable and motivated. You should hold a good level of education including NVQ L2/3 in Health and Social Care or equivalent, and have recent experience of working as a Healthcare Assistant or in a similar role within a Health and Social Care environment.
You will be confident working both independently and as part of a team, including the ability to establish good working relationships across the broader organisation.

Access to excellent training and development opportunities, staff health and wellbeing schemes, a competitive contributory pension scheme and Life Assurance scheme with generous beneficiary plan. Free off‑street parking nearby and an onsite staff canteen are also available.
Candidate(s) must hold a full UK driving licence.
