OUR VALUES IN ACTION
• Care and Compassion • Quality and Teamwork • Dignity and Respect • Openness, honesty and responsibility
The Home First Service within NHS Borders is expanding! We have an exciting opportunity for experienced Healthcare Support Workers (HCSWs) to join our team.
Home First is focused on working differently and collaboratively with acute and community teams to support people home or within a homely setting. With a locality led community approach to reablement and broader health and social care services, the emphasis is on prevention, anticipation, and supported self-management.
The Home First service is delivered in an integrated way alongside Hospital at Home, District Nursing, Community Allied Health Professionals, Adult Social Work and Adult Social Care services to provide a holistic community response across the Borders.
We are seeking motivated and adaptable HCSWs who would like to be part of a friendly and supportive team with an ethos of continuous improvement. Post holders must be confident in decision making and be able to work without direct supervision.
You will be part of a multidisciplinary team working alongside Registered Nursing staff providing the delivery of high-quality person-centred care to people in their own homes. You will also work with the other health professionals within the team, patients and families to coordinate care.
