Healthcare Assistant - Vale

Job description

We are currently recruiting Healthcare Assistants to join our Hospice Care at Home Overnight Service in the Vale of York covering Selby, Tadcaster, York and surrounding areas, As a Healthcare Assistant in the Marie Curie Hospice Care at Home Overnight Service across the Vale of York covering Selby, Tadcaster, York and nearby areas you'll provide essential one to one palliative care to people with life limiting illnesses in their own homes.

Your role includes delivering personal care, monitoring symptoms, supporting with medications, maintaining accurate records, and offering compassionate emotional support to both patients and their families during an especially difficult time.

With your experience in end of life care, you'll work independently and use your initiative to follow each persons established care plan, helping ensure comfort, dignity, and meaningful reassurance throughout the night.

Marie Curie is the UKs leading end-of-life charity. We are the largest non-NHS provider of end-of-life care in the UK, the only provider across all 4 nations, delivering community nursing and hospice care across the country, while providing information and support on all aspects of dying, death, and bereavement. Our leading research pushes the boundaries of what we know about good end-of-life, and our campaigns fight for a world where everyone gets to have the best possible quality of life while living with an illness theyre likely to die from.

The care and support we provide is highly valued by the people we care for and their loved ones, but at present we are only reaching around 10% of dying people at the end of life. Right now, one in four people in the UK with a terminal illness, do not get the care or support they deserve at the end of their lives.
