Healthcare Assistants - Expression of Interest

West Cornwall, United Kingdom

Who are we?

Marie Curie is one of the UK’s most loved charities and the leader in end-of-life care and support. We’re fighting for a better end of life for all because we believe that every day of your life matters – from the first to the last.

You may have seen our recent TV advert 

Beautiful, wild and remote, West Cornwall is not only a popular family destination but a place of tucked-away communities, with a thriving arts and culture scene and stunning prehistoric landscapes. From the golden sands of St Ives Bay, the storm-washed cliffs of Land's End, to the sub-tropical gardens of Penzance or the ancient lands of West Penwith, it’s a truly vibrant region to work in.

The opportunity

At Marie Curie we care about you and your career, and we seek to provide opportunities to ensure our employees are constantly learning new things and feeling challenged in their role. 

As a result, we would like to stay connected with you via this expression of interest for any Healthcare Assistant vacancies in our West Cornwall region now and over the next 6 months.

Our Healthcare Assistants work as part of a multidisciplinary and multiagency team providing holistic, person-centred, end-of-life care to patients and those important to them, undertaking a broad range of care activities as delegated by a Registered Nurse through a documented plan of care.

As well as a week-long induction, including an introduction to palliative care, you will also be assigned a ‘Buddy’ for the first six months in role. You can also study a Level 3 Apprenticeship in Care at Truro and Penwith College. This is a fantastic opportunity to ‘learn while you earn’ with us

How will I make a difference?

You'll be required to carry out a range of care duties including helping patients meet their hygiene needs, monitoring symptoms, assisting with medications, keeping detailed records and emotional support to the patient and their families/most important people. No day is the same, but it will include such purposeful work as:

Nurturing compassionate person-centred relationships and effective communication. Holding honest, well-informed conversations focused on what matters to the person and those important to them.  Holistic assessment, care planning and supporting with care needs. Symptom management, maintaining comfort and wellbeing at the end of life. Supporting people to develop an advanced care planning statement that makes their choices and wishes clear to others. Supporting significant others to plan for and cope with loss, grief and bereavement. Striving for excellence through quality improvement, practice development and innovation.
