We are looking for compassionate, reliable, and attentive Healthcare Assistants to support a young child with complex healthcare needs in their family home.

This is a rewarding one-to-one role where you'll become part of a dedicated care team, helping provide specialist support that enables the child to remain safe, comfortable, and cared for at home.

This is not a domiciliary care role. You will work with a single client during your shift and will not travel between multiple homes.

We are looking for individuals who are:

• Caring, patient, and nurturing
• Reliable and professional
• Attentive to detail and proactive in their approach
• Comfortable working independently within a supportive team
• Passionate about providing high-quality care

Previous care experience is desirable, although candidates with transferable experience in childcare, nursery settings, education support, healthcare, or support work are encouraged to apply.

• Provide person-centred support tailored to the child's needs
• Assist with personal care and daily routines
• Monitor wellbeing and report any concerns
• Follow care plans and clinical guidance
• Maintain accurate care records
• Support the family in creating a safe and positive environment for the child

• PAYE employment
• Enhanced rates for weekends and bank holidays
• Paid annual leave
• Company pension scheme
• Carer Recognition Scheme
• Refer-a-Friend Bonus (£150 for Carers, £500 for Registered Nurses)
• Free confidential wellbeing and support line
• Blue Light Card discounts and savings

• Work with one client per shift
• No travelling between multiple homes
• Consistent work with a regular care team
• Ongoing training and development opportunities
• Supportive management and clinical teams
• Flexible scheduling where possible

Many of our carers work around 36 hours per week, typically earning £500–£555 per week*.

This equates to an estimated annual income of £26,200–£28,950
* depending on shift patterns and hours worked.

Figures are based on average shift patterns and include accrued holiday pay. Actual earnings may vary.

If you are looking for a rewarding role supporting a child and their family while developing your healthcare career, we'd love to hear from you.
