Would you like to make a difference to the community you live in and love?

As a Lifetime Support Worker, you'll play a vital role in our service. You will work closely Community Children's Nurses to provide ongoing clinical care to children in their own home and/or at school.

This exciting role is flexible and dynamic around family life providing an excellent work/life balance and you will have access to training and development if you wish to pursue a career in nursing, training, or management.

We will offer a tailored training package to suit your development needs to make sure you feel fully supported within your new role - should you wish to progress further in your career then Sirona can offer a number of opportunities such as apprenticeships, where we have strong links with local higher education partners.

What our current Lifetime S upport W orkers have to say about their role

“I am in awe of the children I care for and the families I support. I hope that my small part in their sometimes short lives has made a difference to their quality of life. They have certainly made a difference to mine. I feel privileged to have been accepted into their homes, it’s not just a job, I have been doing this for 8 years and wish I had found it years ago”. - Lizzie

"I feel honoured to be a part of our special children's lives. Knowing that we make a huge difference to the parents so they get some much needed rest, safe in the knowledge that their child is being cared for is an enormous privilege." - Ally

“I am new to Lifetime, and I can say that I have been welcomed and really well supported by a very friendly team. Even though I had relatively little nursing experience the training has been so thorough and I have learnt so much. The children we work with are amazing, and at the end of each shift I feel that I have made a small yet essential contribution to their health and well-being, and provided some much needed rest to their families.” - Megan
