Scarborough YO SU, United Kingdom A Star Care Agency Full time £28,000 - £36,000 per year

Female Complex Care Assistant – Thursday & Friday Cover (YO11 Scarborough)

Pay: £13.00–£14.00 per hour

Location: YO11, Scarborough

Start Date: 25/08/2025

We are urgently hiring a female Care Assistant to provide Thursday and Friday cover for a high-needs client in a scent-free, allergen-controlled home in Scarborough (YO11).

This role requires someone highly dependable, calm, and clinically aware, with strict attention to hygiene and routine. You'll be working in a quiet, structured environment and must follow detailed care plans and protocols without deviation.

What You'll Do:

  • Deliver consistent, respectful personal care
  • Assist with right-side mobility using aids like stairlift, ETAC chair, and commodes
  • Prepare soft, allergy-safe meals and ensure hydration (4–6L/day)
  • Prompt medications and administer supplements
  • Apply compression garments and assist with bathing, hair washing (max twice weekly), and dressing
  • Use approved equipment (e.g. Polti steam cleaner) and follow strict hygiene protocols
  • Perform essential cleaning and domestic tasks including:
  • Laundry
  • Dishwashing
  • Dust-mite control
  • General cleaning to maintain an allergen-free space
  • Maintain clear documentation of care, hydration, bowel movements, and incidents
  • Stay alert to early signs of medical emergencies, including anaphylaxis
  • Work quietly and with minimal interaction during low-stimulation periods ('crashes')

You Must Have:

  • Minimum 1 year of paid care experience (complex care preferred)
  • Strong spoken and written English
  • Full understanding of infection control and correct PPE usage
  • Physically fit to assist with mobility and domestic duties
  • Strictly non-smoker, and must not use perfumes, scented products, or latex gloves
  • Comfortable preparing soft, allergen-safe meals and managing hydration
  • Able to document clearly and follow routines exactly
  • Comfortable working in silence when required

Desirable (But Not Essential):

  • Experience with ME/CFS, PoTS, or PEG allergy care
  • NVQ Level 2 or 3 in Health & Social Care
  • Background in low-stimulation or trauma-informed care environments

Why This Role Matters:

This is not a typical care job. You'll be part of a carefully controlled home environment where precision, calmness, and consistency are crucial. Domestic work is a vital part of maintaining the client's health and safety.

Please do not apply unless you fully understand and are willing to follow the specific health and hygiene protocols.

What You Get:

  • Paid training and PPE provided
  • Ongoing clinical support and supervision
  • Regular hours every Thursday and Friday
  • A respectful, quiet working environment
  • The opportunity to provide meaningful care that makes a real difference

How to Apply:

Send your CV with a short cover letter explaining:

  • Your complex care experience
  • Your understanding of scent- and allergen-controlled environments

Job Types: Part-time (Thursday & Friday), Permanent

Work Location: In person

Reference ID: ASCYO11

Job Type: Part-time

Pay: £13.00-£14.00 per hour
