Community Senior Healthcare Assistant Palliative Care, Days

Senior Healthcare Assistant – Community Team (Days)
Sue Ryder, St John's Hospice
St John’s Road, Moggerhanger, Bedford, MK44 3RJ
Full and Part time hours available (11.5 hour shifts)
£12.37 per hour (plus enhancements and competitive benefits)

Sue Ryder is here to make sure everyone approaching the end of their life or living with grief can access the support they need. There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to how we cope and the help we need, but with our support, no one has to face dying or grief alone. We are there when it matters.

About the role

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced Senior Healthcare Assistant to join a friendly, supportive community team where patient care comes first. The role involves visiting patients in their own homes and working closely with a multidisciplinary team to provide holistic support to patients and their families. From end of life care to supporting those living with grief, you will help people live the best life they can when they need it most.

• Promote choice in the delivery of care and support.
• Review and make suggestions to enhance the service users experience.
• Participate in care planning.
• Observe service users’ conditions and report changes.
• Supporting service users to have their views and experiences considered in the way the service is provided and delivered.

About you

No two days in palliative care are the same. Our inpatient unit offers the chance to care for patients with a wide range of conditions, developing your knowledge while making a meaningful difference to patients and their families.

Sue Ryder is seeking dedicated Senior Healthcare Assistants with strong clinical skills, empathy, and a passion for delivering high-quality end of life care when it matters most. The ideal candidate will have at least one year’s experience in a UK health or social care role and a clear understanding of palliative, end of life, and community care.

• UK driving licence and access to a car for work purposes (International Licenses do not meet the requirements)
• Ability to travel independently
• Ability to assess and adapt care to meet individuals’ needs
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• Awareness of person-centred and inclusive care principles
• An NVQ 3 qualification in Health and Social care (or the equivalent) is strongly preferred; however, applicants with substantial relevant experience (no less than 2 years), supported by evidence, are welcome to apply.

Desirable Criteria:

• Experience delivering lone working care
• Confidence in using digital care documentation tools

Sue Ryder provides a thorough 2 week induction with additional supernumerary time to settle into the role and full training/competency assessment will be provided.
There is plenty of scope to further develop your own skills in specialist palliative care.

If you would like to arrange an informal visit to our hospice, please let us know.
