Bury St Edmunds, United Kingdom West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Support to Go Home Service

Full time 37.5hours per week or part time considered

The Support to Go Home Service is looking for a ‘Home Care Support Worker’ to join their team.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone with previous experience of working in a health or social care environment, to care and support patients in their safe recovery at home, upon their discharge from hospital.

If you’re passionate about providing person centred care and looking for a career in the NHS then this role is for you. We want to help develop your career by supporting you with the opportunity to progress once you have met set competencies and training requirements.

As part of this role the “In Reach” project is an exciting new opportunity within the team which will allow support workers to provide reablement to patients on the wards, for those whom are clinically well. This gives an exciting opportunity to reablement support workers, to enable patients to make progression in hospital, preventing further deconditioning, potentially reducing the services they need for discharge. This also allows reablement support workers to build rapport with patients and give them an insight to our service before we take them home under Discharge to Assess Pathway 1 and provide a reablement service in their own home.

As this role is supporting patients in their homes, you will need to have the ability to travel independently to all rural locations to carry out the post and travel across the region. You will also have access to Trust pool cars.

Within this exciting role you will have the opportunity to support patients to become more independent with daily living tasks following their discharge from hospital, this includes supporting with personal care, meals, and mobility. You will also have the opportunity of supporting and providing palliative care for patients that are at the end of their life.

We can support full time and part time working, and as the service works over 7 days, we can offer flexibility with either early or late shifts between the hours of 7.30am - 10pm.

We want to support your career in the NHS and can support you with training opportunities via a development program that can see you progress to a Band 3 Senior Home Care Support Worker.
