    Description and requirements

    £13.38 per hour | Part-time | Hill House

    Join us as a Complex Care Support Worker and provide specialist, person-centred support that helps people with complex health needs live with dignity, independence and confidence.

    A home, not just a service

    At our Hill House service you’ll play a hands-on role in providing high-quality, person-centred care to young adults and older residents with complex nursing needs in a busy, fast-paced 24-bed home. You’ll be part of a close-knit team that ensures residents are safe, comfortable and treated with dignity, while also encouraging independence, choice and meaningful activities. You’ll build trusting relationships, through the use of calm and thoughtful communication, and adapt to changing needs and preferences throughout the day.

    Our service feels like family – relaxed, supportive, and centred around the people who live here. Every day brings new moments to celebrate: from small wins in independence to big laughs over mealtimes.

    What you'll do

    • Support people with everyday living, including personal care, meal preparation, medication, and maintaining a safe, comfortable home.
    • Promote independence and choice by delivering person-centred support tailored to each individual's needs, goals, and preferences.
    • Accompany people to appointments, social activities, and community events, encouraging meaningful participation and inclusion.
    • Maintain accurate, timely, and confidential records in line with organisational policies and regulatory requirements.
    • Build positive relationships with the people you support, their families, colleagues, and healthcare professionals.
    • Most importantly, empower each person to live the life they choose, with dignity, respect, and as much independence as possible.

    Complex care

    This role may involve supporting individuals with a range of complex healthcare needs, including tracheostomy care, enteral feeding (PEG tubes), medication administration, epilepsy management, and other specialist clinical interventions. Full training, competency assessments, and ongoing support will be provided.

    Your working hours

    We offer part-time working hours.

    You’ll need to be flexible to work every other weekend as part of a rota.

    Typical shifts may include:

    • Day shifts: 7:30am–7:30pm

    You will be working two long days per week (12 hour shifts, with a 30 minute unpaid break)

    Why you’ll love working here

    As well as supporting your wellbeing and career development, we offer a fantastic benefits package, including:
    • 
    28 days holiday per annum inclusive of bank holidays (+1 day every year up to 33 days)
    • 
    Stream: Access up to 40% of your pay before payday
    • 
    Free Blue Light Card: Enjoy exclusive discounts and perks
    • 
    Contributory Pension Scheme with competitive life cover
    • 
    Health cash plan: Affordable healthcare when you need it
    • 
    Career development: Apprenticeships and recognised qualifications
    • 
    Free DBS check
    • 
    Employee Assistance Programme for 24/7 support

    Enhanced pay: £1.00 per hour will only apply to night working (8pm Monday to 7am Friday) and weekend working (8pm Friday to 7am Monday). This does not apply to Sleep-Ins. 

    What helps you shine here

    • Warm, friendly, and empathetic approach
    • Willingness to work flexibly, including weekends
    • Good communication and teamwork skills
    • Complex care experience (essential)
    • A genuine desire to help others and make a difference

    **PLEASE INCLUDE COMPLEX CARE SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE ON YOUR APPLICATION**
