Description

The purpose of this role is to provide care to children with complex, life-limiting health care needs that rely on technology to sustain their health.

This technology needs 24 hour supervision - if it fails intervention is required immediately to avoid a fatality. Therefore, parents of these children would never sleep without Lifetimes support.

Parents need to be able to rest, Lifetime support workers work within the familys home, overnight taking over responsibility for the child whilst parents sleep.


As a member of the Lifetime service, you will support the registered nurses in the delivery of care to our service users in the community and contribute towards the safe and seamless delivery of holistic care, working safely within your scope of practice and competence at all times.

You will follow a range of important but simple clinical tasks to support each individual with personal care that will be set out in their care plans every child has their own individual needs so you will gain experience caring for a wide variety of health conditions and specialised equipment.

What our current Lifetime Support Workers have to say about their role I am in awe of the children I care for and the families I support.

I hope that my small part in their sometimes short lives has made a difference to their quality of life.

They have certainly made a difference to mine.

I feel privileged to have been accepted into their homes, its not just a job, I have been doing this for 8 years and wish I had found it years ago.

- Lizzie "I feel honoured to be a part of our special children's lives.

Knowing that we make a huge difference to the parents so they get some much needed rest, safe in the knowledge that their child is being cared for is an enormous privilege." - Ally I am new to Lifetime, and I can say that I have been welcomed and really well supported by a very friendly team.


Even though I had relatively little nursing experience the training has been so thorough and I have learnt so much.

The children we work with are amazing, and at the end of each shift I feel that I have made a small yet essential contribution to their health and well-being, and provided some much needed rest to their families.
