About the Role
As a Healthcare Assistant, you’ll be a vital source of comfort and stability for vulnerable individuals in their own homes-empowering them to live safely, independently, and with dignity. From clinical checks to overnight reassurance, your care makes staying at home possible.
Meet the Client
In this incredibly rewarding role, you will join a supportive overnight 2:1 care team dedicated to a 30-year-old, non-verbal individual with complex needs. While non-verbal, our client is fully aware, observant, and engaged with their environment. Your presence ensures they feel safe, comfortable, and thoroughly supported while the world sleeps!

Career Progression: Clear pathways and genuine opportunities to step up and advance your healthcare career.
-
Unrivalled Support: 24/7 peace of mind with continuous backing from our dedicated Office Team, Registered Managers, and Clinical Nurses.
-
Financial Flexibility: Reliable weekly pay with both PAYE and Umbrella options, plus accrued Holiday Pay (PAYE).
Your Responsibilities Will Include:
-
Delivering thoughtful overnight personal care and pressure area care (repositioning, toileting, and comfort checks).
-
Assisting with manual handling and mobility routines during the night.
-
Managing specialised complex care tasks, including Tracheostomy monitoring and PEG feeding (full expert training provided!).
-
Offering warm companionship and creating a serene, secure night-time environment.
-
Assisting with medication administration (once trained).
-
Maintaining detailed overnight logs, adhering to care plans, and reporting any changes in condition.
Who We’re Looking For
-
Experience: At least 6 months of professional UK care experience is essential.
-
Complex Care: Prior experience with Tracheostomy care and PEG feeding is a bonus, but not required-we provide full, expert-led training!
-
Availability: Ready to commit to a full-time night schedule across 5 available shifts, including weekends.
-
Compliance: Valid Right to Work in the UK, an enhanced DBS check (or willingness to apply for one), and an up-to-date CV with full work history.
