JOB DESCRIPTION

 

Healthcare Assistant, Erewash Care Team

We have a fantastic chance for the appropriate candidate to join our unique and specialised end-of-life care team. You will be joining a big and established team of Healthcare Assistants, managed by a District Nurse. This team is a subset of the larger Integrated Community Team, which includes Community Nursing and Community Therapy.

Shifts are divided into early and late shifts, each lasting five hours. Early hours are from 08:00 to 13:00, while late shifts are from 16:00 to 21:00. The team allocates these based on your working hours during a seven-day period. The typical staffing allotment is 4 workers each shift, which means you will collaborate closely with your colleagues to conduct joint visits in addition to working alone for individual visits in the community.

We provide end-of-life care to patients in their own homes in the Erewash area. As a result, you will be needed to drive between visits to our two locations: Ilkeston Community Hospital and Long Eaton Health Centre.

We are searching for a caring and compassionate person who is passionate about providing high-quality end-of-life care. Experience in the healthcare setting is essential to ensuring that you have the necessary skills for this career.

Healthcare Assistant, Erewash Care Team

 

The primary responsibilities of the job will involve the following:

Personal care for end-of-life patients living at home.

Patient manual handling with equipment given in the home.

Continence management, which includes catheter care.

Care for the pressure area.

Medication administration is done using a Medication Administration Record (MAR) sheet.

Communication with all members of the Integrated Community Team, as well as the usage of a laptop to record patient information in Systmone.

 

Working for your organisation.

As part of Joined Up Care Derbyshire, we aim to deliver community health services to over one million patients in Derbyshire and Derby.

We employ around 4,200 substantive staff members who care for patients in 11 community hospitals and more than 30 health facilities, as well as clinics, GP practices, schools, care homes, and, increasingly, in people’s own homes and through virtual consultations.

During the pandemic response, we spearheaded the establishment of public vaccination sites in partnership with partners in health and social care.

As an employer and sponsor licence holder, we must ensure that we meet the sponsorship conditions stipulated by UK Visas and Immigration in order to sponsor overseas people under the Skilled Worker route.

After carefully analysing this role, we do not believe it fits the sponsorship requirements. For more information on the eligibility requirements for a Skilled Worker visa, please visit the following link to the gov.uk website: Overview of GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) “​
