St Elizabeth Hospice is looking to recruit enthusiastic and flexible team members to support young adults living with progressive illness and complex health care needs accessing Zest at St Elizabeth Hospice, including short breaks, Zest days and groups.
St Elizabeth Hospice improves life for people in east Suffolk living with a progressive or life-limiting illness. Our work is centred on an individual’s needs, which means specialist support, whenever and wherever it is needed, whether at home, in the community or at the hospice. Our most recent Care Quality Commission report rated the hospice as “Outstanding”.
Established in 1989, the hospice has built a reputation for delivering high-level care to patients and the community it serves. Through medicine and therapy, they ease pain; give life purpose and make life liveable. Last year the charity supported over 4,000 patients and their families.
As a ‘bank’ Zest Care Assistant, we will call you to offer occasional shifts, predominantly Fridays and weekends. This may be planned or at short notice, for a full shift or as ad hoc additional hours, so flexibility and commitment is essential.
You will have a willingness to support young adults using person-centred care to plan activities and achieve their goals, and where appropriate encourage independence and self-management skills. Whilst enabling the young adults to enjoy a fun and comfortable stay, you will be required to assist in complex physical care and support.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join St Elizabeth Hospice, your local hospice at the heart of the community, and to be part of something special that is happening in Suffolk.
At least one year’s care experience is preferred, with full training provided to ensure you are competent and confident to support young adults with complex care needs.
