Huddersfield, United Kingdom Forget Me Not Children's Hospice Full time

**Salary**: £24,000 rising to £25,000 after probation FTE

**Hours**:Full time (37.5hrs) and part time (30 hours) - working on a rolling shift rota covering days, waking nights and weekends

**Location**:Russell House, Huddersfield

**Responsible to**: Care Coordinator

**Responsible for**:N/A

**Benefits**: Entry into Peoples Pension, death in service benefit (3 x salary), out of pocket expenses, free on-site parking, free access to confidential and extensive wellbeing support, generous holiday entitlement (26 days plus bank holidays rising to 31 days after 5 years for a full time employee), free tea / coffee, sight tests and flu jabs and excellent learning and development opportunities.

**OVERVIEW OF ROLE**

When time is short, every moment counts. So when children with life-shortening conditions spend time with us, whether thats at our hospice, in their own homes or out in the community, we want every minute to be meaningful.

And thats where you come in We are growing our team so that we can support more children and are looking for full and part-time clinical support workers.

As a clinical support worker, youll provide care to babies, children, and young people over the course of each shift, with the support of our nursing team.

Youll provide essential clinical care, like giving medication, feeding, bathing, toileting and moving and handling as well as care tasks specific to individual children. But dont worry, during your probationary period, well provide all the training you need to provide safe and effective care to children with complex needs. There will also be progression to work with more complex children with tracheostomies and ventilators.

With the freedom to design your day around the needs and wants of the child in your care, your role will also be to engage them in play and learning activities, making sure theyre always happy and safe. That might mean spending time in our sensory room, cinema or even our hydrotherapy pool. Or you might go on a day trip together.

Some experience of working with children perhaps in early years, in education or healthcare - is essential but you dont need to have worked in a hospice before. Whats more important is that you bring a caring, friendly and playful attitude, that you love engaging with children and youre good at building rapport with them and their families.

Adaptable and resilient, youll be open to learning new skills and to helping these very special children to live the best lives they can.
