Are you an experienced Healthcare Assistant/Support Worker who has worked in a community or other healthcare setting?

Do you have an NVQ level 3 or equivalent in health and social care OR do you have experience of caring for people in the community or healthcare settings?

Do you have the PASSION, DRIVE AND ABILITY to deliver high quality compassionate care?

If the answer is yes, then joining us in Community Nursing Services could be the perfect career move for you.

As an ageing well accelerator site LPT have been awarded extra funding to increase our health care support worker team. This is an exciting opportunity for experienced health care support workers to become part of our Community Nursing Teams based in Leicester City (Braunstone and Merlyn Vaz Health and Social Care Centres), Barrow upon Soar, Enderby, Coalville, Hinckley, Rutland, Syston and Market Harborough. The teams provide core community nursing, rapid response nursing and Home First nursing interventions to patients living in their own homes, residential homes and in local accessible clinics.

We work in an integrated way with health and care providers across the whole system in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland to ensure that care is joined up and that whenever we can, we strive to care for patients at home, helping them to maintain independence and ensuring that high quality care is delivered in an efficient and holistic manner.

We are working hard to continually improve our outcomes for patients and our experience for staff in delivering care and have new investment to improve our capacity to keep developing.

We would love to hear from you if you can:

• Demonstrate your passion and ability to provide care for patients experiencing a wide range of conditions.
• Support our patients and work with people in an asset-based way that really enables them to live their optimum life, being self-caring and independent with their health needs where possible.
• Work collaboratively, efficiently and creatively with multi professional colleagues and partners with a focus on ‘HomeFirst’ helping patients to avoid hospital admissions and where they do need a hospital stay facilitating timely and well supported discharge back home.

In return we would love to offer you –

• Regular, meaningful clinical and managerial supervision tailored to your specific needs.
• A professional development plan which supports your continuous learning and development.
• Training and quality improvement opportunities.

Please note that the working hours are between 08.00 and 22.00.

This is such an exciting time to be joining this transforming service which delivers an integrated health and social care offer delivered by community-based nursing, therapy and adult social care teams. If you want to be the Health Care Support Worker that makes a difference then WE WANT YOU!
