Role Introduction
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Senior Healthcare Support Worker to join our Children’s Community Nursing Service. We have positions within our Continuing Care & Health Short Breaks team where we provide respite in the family home. Our service specialises in caring for children and young people with multiple complex health needs & learning disabilities.
We work 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year and therefore you will normally work a mix of days, nights, weekends and bank holidays although we do support applications for flexible working when we can.
Whilst this is a clinical role, we do not expect candidates to have previous clinical experience, but some experience working with children is beneficial. You will receive a full package of training and will be well supported by an experienced team of nurses.
The role will involve some travel so access to a transport with business insurance cover will be required.
We are looking for individuals who are caring, fun, resilient and motivated to work alongside a specialist team of professionals.
Interested candidates should love working with children, can engage and communicate well with parents and enjoy being part of a team as well as being able to work on your own.
You will be responsible for providing clinical care within the family home. The work is interesting, varied, and includes giving children personal hygiene cares, delivering tube feeds, giving medication, moving and handling as well as enabling children to play and have fun.
Within this role there is scope to develop your knowledge and skills and if you wish you can apply to progress to become a band 4 Associate Practitioner.
We work a cross service model of working so you will spend time and work with our other clinical teams (Hannah House, Specialist Inclusion Learning Centre’s and Children’s Nursing team).
