About the Role:
We have a client in the Leeds area who needs support from dedicated complex care assistants. Routes Healthcare is committed to enhancing lives 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, not only for those we support but also for their loved ones and family members.

We provide complex care services for people with long-term health conditions, clinically-led enhanced homecare, and end-of-life care, all tailored around the individual’s hobbies, activities, and daily routines.

Care is always needed, so a range of shifts will be available from Monday to Sunday. Please speak with our recruitment team to learn about our shift patterns. We offer a pay rate of £15.00 per hour, depending on the level of care and location; this rate includes holiday pay.
