We’re on the lookout for a dynamic Health Care Assistant to join our Care Team. Are you a natural-born caregiver who holds an NVQ Level 3 in Health & Social Care and has at least two years of experience working with children.

You’ll be working hand in hand with our Respite Nurses and Play team to ensure our families receive the best care possible. This means helping to provide a clean, safe, supportive environment for children who are life-limited, life-threatened, or living with severe disabilities.
You’re also be creating magical moments that’ll stay with our families for a lifetime. Whether it’s a small act of kindness or a fun-filled family event, you’re always willing to go the extra mile to make sure everyone has a blast.

If you are curious about creativity and play for children with severe disabilities and complex nursing needs, and you’re never one to shy away from trying new things.
Most importantly, you’re a compassionate and empathetic person who knows how to communicate with anyone and everyone. Let’s make some unforgettable memories together! Please click HERE to apply.
