Community Senior Healthcare Assistant Palliative Care

Overview

Sue Ryder is here to make sure everyone approaching the end of their life or living with grief can access the support they need. There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to how we cope and the help we need, but with our support, no one has to face dying or grief alone. We are there when it matters. This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced Senior Healthcare Assistant to join a friendly, supportive community team where patient care comes first.

The role involves visiting patients in their own homes and working closely with a multidisciplinary team to provide holistic support to patients and their families. From end-of-life care to supporting those living with grief, you will help people live the best life they can when they need it most.

• Promote choice in the delivery of care and support.
• Review and make suggestions to enhance the service users experience.
• Participate in care planning.
• Observe service users conditions and report changes.
• Support service users to have their views and experiences considered in the way the service is provided and delivered.
• No two days in palliative care are the same. Our service offers the chance to care for patients with a wide range of conditions, developing your knowledge while making a meaningful difference to patients and their families.

• Sue Ryder is seeking dedicated Senior Healthcare Assistants with strong clinical skills, empathy, and a passion for delivering high-quality end of life care when it matters most.
• The ideal candidate will have at least one year’s experience in a UK health or social care role and a clear understanding of palliative, end of life, and community care.
