- "Just being there can make so much difference"._

An opportunity has arisen to join our amazing team as a Senior Healthcare Assistant.

The position is for permanent nights, enabling people to die at home and giving much needed support to their loved ones.

The role entails working within patients' homes between 22.00 and 7.00 supporting the patient with their needs during the night and enabling their loved ones to rest or know that there is someone with them.

Whilst you would be on your own in the house, you would be fully supported by the night sister on duty both on the phone and in person.

To be successful in this role you will need to have the equivalent of NVQ level 3 and the passion to care for people at the end of life in their own homes.

You would also need the flexibility to work within a small team that puts patients' and their loved ones' needs at the heart of everything we do.

You must be able to travel to patients' homes across South Devon. The work is hard, but the rewards are immense.

At Rowcroft, we pride ourselves in supporting staff to develop and offer training to increase your skills and knowledge.

You will be given a full induction, giving you the opportunity to meet other teams in the hospice and work with different members of the Hospice at Home team.

You will be assigned a mentor to support you in your new role and help you achieve the competencies that we have developed.

Our work can be tough, although very rewarding, and we provide clinical supervision to ensure that we can support you through the tough times.

Rowcroft Hospice is an independent charity that provides comfort, support and specialist care to over 2,000 patients and their loved ones across South Devon each year.

Our Vision is to make every day the best it can be for all patients, and their families, living with life-limiting illnesses in South Devon.
