Two 30 hour posts available
An exciting opportunity has arisen to recruit a motivated and enthusiastic Band 3 Healthcare Assistant to work within the Cockermouth Community Nursing Team, within the Maryport & Cockermouth ICC. We currently have 2 x 30 hour posts.
ICCs aim to address the challenges of an aging population and increasing demand on health and care services by providing more out of hospital care and empowering people to take control of their health and wellbeing.

These new ways of working will follow the same approach across all eight ICCs with flexibility to tailor services to the needs of the local people.
