Senior Healthcare Assistant (Respite)

This role matters. A unique opportunity has arisen to join our Hospice at Home team as a Senior Healthcare Assistant providing Palliative Respite Care – could this be you? This is a special role, where you would provide respite care for patients and their carers within their own home, giving families the chance to rest, recharge and provide support, knowing their loved one is being looked after.

The St Johnโ€™s Hospice at Home team is a dedicated group of Nurses and Health Care Assistants, who are skilled and experienced in caring for people in the last few weeks of life. You would be joining a professional and supportive team, who are committed to putting patients and their families at the heart of everything they do.

The majority of the people who St Johnโ€™s cares for are looked after in their own home, in the community. Many people choose to spend their last weeks or days at home, and our community team are there to support them.

* This care is provided in patientโ€™s homes from Grasmere to Garstang and from Sedbergh to Morecambe including remote areas. It is essential you hold a full UK manual driving license and have access to a vehicle during working hours.

If you are looking to take on a role where every day you can see the difference you have made to peopleโ€™s lives, come and join us.

Informal discussions and enquiries are welcome, please contact our Community Services Management Team on 01524 382538 or via email at [email protected]
