Job description

Join Our Complex Care Team in Plymouth. Supporting Adults and Children With Complex Needs. Part-time Contracts Available. Days Shifts.

Complex Care HCA & Support Worker – Plymouth | 24 Hour Contracts Available

Ocean Healthcare is looking for confident and committed carers to join our Complex Care Team in Plymouth, supporting adults and children with complex needs.

This is not a domiciliary care role. You’ll provide 1:1 or 2:1 support within complex care packages at home and in the community, rather than travelling between multiple service users or short care visits.

You will be supporting adults and children with a range of complex care and mental health needs, working closely with families and our nurse-led clinical team to provide safe, consistent, person-centred care.

In Plymouth, support may include individuals living with:

• Motor Neuron Disease (MND)
• BiPAP and CPAP support
• Cerebral Palsy

Every package is different. We will always talk you through what support looks like before you start, so you have a clear understanding of the role.

Training & Support

You’ll be fully prepared for your role with face-to-face training delivered by our nurse-led team and specialist trainers. Training is tailored to the individuals you’ll be supporting, so you feel confident, supported and clinically safe from day one.

Ongoing support and development are part of how we work - you’re never left to figure things out on your own.

Pay Rates & Shifts:

Competitive hourly rates (dependent on shift type and complexity)

24 Hour Contracts

Pay Rates range from £13.50 per hour.

Our current availability includes 12 hour shifts. To give you a feel for what’s available, here are some example shift patterns:

• 08:00 - 20:00
• 09:00 - 17:00

Why Join Us?

We're not afraid to say we're a little bit old fashioned. We believe in treating people right, providing great quality care and being proud of what we do. When you work with us, you’re part of a supportive, professional and highly regarded team. Our philosophy is Live Happy Care Well. Check out OceanHealthcareUK on Facebook to find out more about us!

What Makes You a Great Fit

We’re looking for people who are:

• Experienced in care or support work
• Reliable, caring and confident
• Able to travel to service users in and around the Plymouth area
• Keen to expand your knowledge and skills with ongoing, tailored training

Previous experience with complex care is helpful – but not essential. What matters most is your commitment to providing high-quality, person-centred support.

What You’ll Need:

• At least 1 year of UK experience as a Healthcare Assistant or Support Worker.
• Full-UK Driving License and Access to your own vehicle
• Two UK work references (at least one must be care-related).
• Reliability and Good Communication
• Right to work in the UK
