Gloucestershire Health and Care (GHC) are looking to recruit enthusiastic and motivated individuals across the county who want to work with people in their communities. We can offer you training, development opportunities, regular supervision and support.

The following shifts are currently highly sought after for this locality:
Am - 08.00-13:30 (4 on 4 off)

Pm - 17.00-22:00 (4 on 4 off)

(either morning or evening for someone who wants part-time)

The Reablement and Home First Team provide vital short-term services to people in their homes to help them regain as much independence as possible after a stay in hospital, an injury or illness.

No previous experience in a paid/unpaid caring role is required. To be successful in this role you should:
enjoy working with people;
understand what motivates people;
be comfortable being involved in practical, sometimes personal and intimate care provision for people;
have a desire to learn and develop skills;
able to work alone and in a team setting

If you do have experience of working in a caring role, it will prove very useful and will allow you to progress more rapidly.

GHC has full-time and part-time roles available at various locations across Gloucestershire. Our services run 24/7 and all our Rehabilitation Assistant roles offer core hours of 07.00-22.00. Full-time roles operate on a 4 days on, 4 days off schedule and part-time roles are 2 days on, 6 days off. If you would like to discuss flexible working options, please get in touch with the recruiting manager (name below).

Please note that this role is locality based visiting patients in their homes and therefore it is highly desirable that all applicants have a valid driving licence for the UK and access to a vehicle. If you do not have access to a vehicle or driving licence please specify in your supporting information how you would fulfil the duties of this locality-based role.

Please note that this role does not meet the criteria for sponsorship and therefore we are only able to consider applicants with unrestricted right to work in the UK due to the role not currently meeting the UK Government’s Visa's & Immigration's requirements for a Skilled Worker Visa.

At Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust, we are supportive of the people we care for in the community and aim to provide a fully responsive service to everyone who needs it. This is the same approach we take for our employees. We look to value the skills and experiences of those we work with, whether they are service users, carers, families or those looking to work with us.

Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust is part of the NHS. We treat NHS patients according to NHS principles and standards. The difference is the Trust is accountable to local people, rather than to Government, and so we are able to work closely with our community to develop services in the way that best suits the needs of local people.

Our Staff Survey results showed people at our Trust feel they are engaged, part of a team and work for a compassionate and inclusive organisation.

Our overall scores were better than average in eight of nine themes and level in one - the best overall results for a community, mental health and learning disabilities Trust in the south west and first equal amongst all sector NHS providers within the region too.

Gloucestershire Health and Care is committed to embedding and providing personalised care through all of its services as part of our high-quality care strategy. The purpose of personalised care is to empower people to lead the lives they want to live. Personalised care starts with a conversation with people about what matters to them. It builds on what people can do, as well as addressing their health needs. Including new ways of working and delivering care, emphasising that we need to make effective use of the full range of our people’s skills and experience to deliver the best possible patient care. So we want to know What Matters to You and that you will share our values and join us on this very important journey.

The qualification, training & experience requirements for the role are underlined in the Job Description/Person Specification.
