Job Description

St Peter’s Hospice at Home Team support patients who are in the last weeks of their life who want to be at home. The team works closely with families, community nursing teams and the wider hospice services to give the best care and support possible at this crucial time. Due to an expansion of the service we are recruiting for a number of Healthcare Assistant roles on both permanent and bank contracts.We are predominantly looking for Band 3 level roles; however we do have some development opportunities available in this team which would be offered on Band 2 whilst training and support is provided to reach Band 3.The roles require independent working in the community; applicants should have excellent communication skills and IT skills. You must be adaptable, reliable and highly organised in order to prioritise your workload effectively. Experience of working with people with long terms conditions or approaching the end of their life will be an advantage but no essential.The successful candidates will join a cohesive and friendly team who make a real difference to patients and their families at the most challenging time. In return, we will offer:

Competitive rates of pay, with enhancements paid for unsocial hours over weekends and bank holidays

Supportive mentoring alongside comprehensive induction and training

Minimum 27 days holidayplus bank holidays)

Contributory Pension (including continuation in the NHS Pension Scheme for existing members)

This is a role where no two days are the same and you have the chance to improve the experience of patients and families when life is at its most difficult for them.We believe in equality of opportunity and understand the value of a diverse mix of talented people that is representative of our community. We welcome applications from individuals regardless of their race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, age, gender or disability.The hospice promotes equality of opportunity for all individuals with the right mix of talent, skills and potential and welcomes applications from a wide range of candidates, including those with criminal records.We undertake not to discriminate unfairly against anyone who has previous criminal convictions and having a criminal record will not necessarily be a bar to employment with the hospice.Due to the nature of the work involved, this role is exempt from the ROA and all job-holders are required to undergo a Disclosure and Barring Service Check.
