An opportunity has arisen to join the End of Life Care team as a Band 3 Healthcare Assistant on a part-time (13 hours/week), permanent basis.
The successful candidate would be welcomed into an established team who work closely with members of the wider multidisciplinary team across all the PCN’s in Surrey Downs Health and Care.
We have a strong focus on staff support and development, encouraging opportunities for further learning.
In short if you are looking for an employer that is working to remove traditional boundaries and barriers, bringing care to patients when and where they need it, and you want to work alongside motivated, passionate and visionary colleagues we look forward to hearing from you.
We are looking to recruit a Healthcare Support Worker to work within the End of Life Care Team. In this role you will provide care and support to palliative patients within the community setting. You will provide a seamless service whilst a complete package of care is put in place. The post holder will undertake a range of delegated tasks. This role will be supported to develop skills and abilities to work with this client group to provide the appropriate level of care.

The three GP federations GP Health Partners, Dorking Health Care and Surrey Medical Network representing practices that operate in the Surrey Downs area
CSH Surrey
Epsom and St Helier’s University Hospitals NHS Trust
Surrey Council County
Historically, there have been boundary lines between the organisations that provide care to people in their homes, in GP surgeries and in hospitals, but we have always been united in our mission to provide great care to the people who need us.
It’s on those grounds that the Surrey Downs Health and Care was formed – we want local people to receive the care that they need in the right environment. By bringing together our expertise, we can improve patient care and enable local people to access the right support, care and treatment more easily than ever before.
In bringing this partnership together, we are working to the same set of values that will translate into better care for our residents.
