Join Sonderwell as a Complex Care Assistant and Make a Difference
At Sonderwell, we believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to live life to the fullest. As a Complex Care Assistant, you’ll play a key role in supporting clients with complex care needs, enabling them to maintain independence and live the life they choose. You’ll be part of a supportive team that will provide you with the training and development needed to excel in this fulfilling role.
Your Role Every individual has unique needs, and your care will reflect that. From assisting clients with daily routines like getting up or going to medical appointments, to offering full-day care, your role will be varied and meaningful. What matters most is your ability to connect with people and handle both the emotional and physical aspects of care.
Key Responsibilities:
- Must have paediatric experience
- Administer basic life support for paediatrics
- Use oxygen via nasal cannula
- Perform PEG feeding
- Operate nebulisers
- Conduct oral suctioning
- Administer medication
- Comfortably handle situations involving unwell babies, including potential resuscitation if necessary
About You If you have patience, flexibility, and a caring personality, we’ll provide the tools and training you need to offer excellent personal care. We value those who can build strong connections with clients and their families, while confidently managing the physical demands of the role.
Supporting You At Sonderwell, we care for our carers. With access to both online and classroom training, you’ll be equipped to handle specific complex care needs. You may also have the opportunity to study for a relevant NVQ qualification. Depending on your client, you’ll either work independently or as part of a team. Additionally, if you’re available, you could support more than one client.
Before starting, you’ll meet your client and their family, and throughout your time with us, a Care Co-ordinator or Nurse Manager will be on hand for guidance. You’ll also have access to our ‘Carer App,’ which offers valuable information and support, helping you get the most out of your role.
What We Offer Whether you’re seeking full-time, part-time, day, or night shifts, we offer flexible opportunities to suit your needs. You can also benefit from our employee referral program and access to our employee assistance program, which is focused on supporting your well-being.
Diversity and Inclusion We are committed to creating an inclusive workplace that values diversity. We encourage applications from all backgrounds and will provide accommodations for those with disabilities throughout the recruitment process.
