Description

We are looking for Healthcare Assistants to join our Hospice at Home night team These are Community roles, based from Wisbech and working across North Cambridgeshire
We are proud to offer a Hospice at Home service which is part of our Community Team.

This compassionate and experienced team of nurses and healthcare assistants remain with someone who is dying in their own home, providing direct hands on care and support between the hours of 10pm and 7am.

The team works in partnership with the wider health system, particularly District Nurses and GPs, the wider Hospice team, and other specialists.

We would love to grow our night time team to be able to offer this vital specialist care to more patients, therefore, we are looking for more Healthcare Assistants to join our Hospice at Home department.

In this role you will provide safe, effective, and responsive nursing care that meets the physical, spiritual, emotional and social needs of patients and their families/carers.

You will work directly and alone with patients and families in their own homes.

Colleagues working within our Hospice at Home (HaH) team cover a wide geographical area, from Tydd St Giles in the North of the county down to Saffron Walden in the South, and everywhere in between.

Although allocated to either the Cambridge (South team) or Wisbech (north team) base, colleagues work flexibly as one team in order to meet patient needs wherever they may be.

For this reason, we are pleased to offer mileage expense rates in excess of HMRC as well as a lease car option.

Whilst every effort is made to allocate patients close to where you live, this is not always possible we ask all of our colleagues to be flexible and attend patients wherever they are located.

This role attracts night time enhancement payments.

Please note that the salary quoted is based on full time hours and needs to be pro-rata'd for part time posts. We regret that we are unable to negotiate salary above the maximum stated within the advert.

We are committed to inclusivity, respect, fairness, engagement and equality of opportunity for our patients and their families, our staff and trustees, our volunteers and our supporters. _
Arthur Rank Hospice Charity is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and adults who draw on care and support and expects all colleagues and volunteers to share this commitment._
