Ellesmere Port, United Kingdom Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust Full time

**Working hours**: Full and Part-time hours

Working in Intermediate Care is an exciting opportunity that you may never have thought about before

Intermediate Care is a vital part of health and social care, where you will support people who have experienced a period of ill health or injury to regain their independence and rehabilitate them back to doing the things that are important to them. That could be anything from improving a person’s walking, supporting someone to learn how to use a new piece of equipment, increasing a person’s independence getting washed and dressed to providing emotional support and encouragement when they need it most. No two days are the same

We have 59 beds across two Intermediate Care Units based in Ellesmere Port Hospital. It is our aim to deliver person centred care, in the right place, at the right time.

We are currently looking for Healthcare Assistants to join our amazing team, working directly with Nurses, Occupational Therapists and Physiotherapists and therapy assistants in a fast-paced environment. Within the role you will also support people to attend exercise groups and reminiscence classes, accompany therapists on home visits and have freedom to bring your ideas forward on how we can deliver the best care possible.

If you want to improve the quality of life for the people you support, work within a fast-paced friendly team and always do your very best, a career in our Intermediate Care Service could be for you.

1. At the direction of the Registered Nurse/Midwife participate fully in the delivery of planned nursing/therapy care.
2. Provide information to enable the effectiveness of care to be evaluated and records maintained.
3. Involve patients and carers/relatives in the delivery of care and provide reassurance support to patients and carers/family.

5. Recognise and respond appropriately to urgent and emergency situations.
